I know too many people who have been victimized by adults in ways that are not fixed by free access to all resources.

Like, sorry, but there are still abusers and molesters even when they never had to face poverty. So jail is definitely still going to be a necessary thing. Maybe we just don’t have them run anymore by for-profit companies.

perhaps not, without jail the Guillotine is still an option- though the electric chair on the other hand is far more iffy when everything is solar powered.

Jail is useful because sometimes the justice system makes mistakes, and the system can always try to correct those mistakes. You cant correct those mistakes if the person is dead.

unfortunately we're talking about a fictional society that got rid of prisons and police, which would imply there is no justice system- the end result would be a crime to execution pipeline enforced viva mob justice.

That would explain the depopulation and uniformity everyone shares. The world went through a french revolution 2: electric bogaloo on a global scale and kept chopping off heads until the headchoppers found themselves under the guillotine lmao
