and some are not so much

they will probably reduce the budget

Yes but also I believe a significant number of drug prisoners are in for weed charges

Which is both quite funny and sad

well

the prison industrial system is connected

people like camala need that slave labor

i still cant wrap my head around the fact that usa privatized its prison system

wth

its one of the most horrible ideas ever

Well you have to consider the motivation though

Namely, profit

you cant bring profit into everything

the point of the prison system is not profit, it is to protect the public and reform the individual

Well if you're bribing and lobbying Congress though that's your motivation usually

this way, there is no incentive to do either of those 2 things

i know their motivation

i just dont undestand how something like that is legal

its on a level of a 3rd world country

trying to make profit on keeping people incarcerated... and then you realise why ex cons cannot be rehabilitated because of how they're treated in prisons

America is well on its way to being one

that should be one of the main topics of the political debate

no one even mentions it

Mm

most people dont care

until it happens to them or their friends or family

from a european perspective, this is hellish

It is

no european country has a system like that

Prison should be a healthy mix of punishment and rehabilitation. Give people a second chance. Not make a profit and keep them in prison where they foster resentment against society and continue gang participation

yes

give them a chance to earn a degree

get a job later on

learn a craft

Exactly

Not ostracise them and mark them for life

its not just the system

americans seem a lot more unforgiving

to criminals in general

i saw how the comments after someone got his whole life destroyed
