    You’re not wrong, but that doesn’t mean we should abandon any attempt at reformation.

      When has there been an attempt???

      People that work in prisons are basically free labor slaves, yes they get paid, but its nothing compared to the cost of living in there!

      The whole system is fucked and needs to be reformed.

      They need to take money out of prisons like they need to take money out of politics (good fucking luck)

      I never said prisoners don’t need to reformed, I said the system we have in place now is not meant to reform them.

        Prisoners get access to counselling, education, and a library right?

        I do agree with you that the system is messed up, and making it a for-profit activity just seems plain wrong to me. That said, it’s undeniable that there is some attempt at reform no matter how under-resourced.
