The whole topic of incarceration, especially in America, is so complicated and so sad, but definitely something we need to talk about and address head on. It’s insane how much of our population is or has been incarcerated, and many for relatively harmless crimes. Many people who go into the prison system never really get out of it, even if they’re released for periods of time. We create criminals through incarceration.

yes we really do. the system is masterfully concocted to promote reincarceration as well. There are barely any resources or support for these people when/if they are released. In fact society black lists them and refuses to help them find reasonable employment or housing and then wonders why they are right back in the streets doing the same old thing.. I mean come on we are blaming individuals for system wide failures.. insanity.
