Well the fact that jails are overcrowded is one factor that shows it's not working. Some people need help from past traumas, abuse, etc. Not everyone that acts out needs to be incarcerated, they need rehabilitation or counseling. Definitely depends on the crime committed. Therefore substance abuse users would be in rehabilitation. Even Juveniles in detention centers don't benefit from incarceration for certain offenses. There is no rehabilitation in incarceration. There are more criminals in jail and incarceration in my opinion, only for some offenders, is the last option. Now for Sex Offenders, Murderers and Criminals with violent crimes my opinion is completely opposite. Some of those offenders should be dealt with according to their crime. Also, all of the people that have been pardoned and them lessening time for drug traffickers and actual drug dealers (not necessarily users) is just a bad thing to pardon them or let them out because they don't have any violent crimes. Isn't dealing drugs, that are killing people every single day just as bad as a violent crime. In my opinion they can sit and rot for the longevity of their sentence. Some need help and I would fully support that only under some circumstances. Others I would rather not have to live amongst them.
Answer:
import datetime
user = input("Enter date in yyyy,m,d: ").split(",")
int_date = tuple([int(x) for x in user])
year, month, day =int_date
mydate = datetime.datetime(year, month, day)
print(mydate)
x = mydate.strftime("%B %d, %Y was a %A")
print(x)
Explanation:
The datetime python module is used to create date and time objects which makes it easy working with date-time values. The user input is converted to a tuple of integer items, then they are converted to date time objects and parsed to string with the strftime method.
