    Rehabilitation is a good thing. Prisons (especially the american kind) are not.

    Putting people into a dog cage with a bunch of other offenders and being overseen by sub 100iq dipshits ends up making harder criminals, not fixing them.

    Now there are definitely people who need to be locked up for their safety or the public’s but most criminals are not that.

      You know something is fundamentally broken when the prison system is for profit and brags to investors about the high recidivism rates.

      Too many of our “criminals” are in simple possession drug charges, mostly for cannabis, which in the “land of the free” should have never been any of the government’s business in the first place.
