Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

You do know that 80% of incarcerations are for low level nonviolent offense
Selling heroin isn't violent, it still kills people...
Anyway, if you had 20% chance to win the lotto you would be playing every week wouldn't you?
you're more likely to be killed by someone not in jail. and even more so by a family member or friend. those escaping jail want to lay low.
They can't lay low forever, they can't get a job, what do you think they'll end up doing to continue living?
Oh, that's right, resort to committing more crimes.
No shit I'm more likely to be killed by someone not in jail, they're not being detained! That person was in jail and is now out of it though and they have a background of criminal behavior, which means they're an increased risk of violent behaviour and might as well be in the 20% that were in for violent crimes, you don't know if it's the case or not.
Can't believe I have to defend the idea that if you see an escapee you need to call the police so they get brought back to jail. What's wrong with you people?
Heck, they might as well be a child rapist or a serial killer. You. Don't. Know. Who. They. Are!
And you're more likely to be killed by a cow than a shark. Doesn't mean they're not dangerous. Just means I don't live in the fucking ocean.
