RE: Get Out of Prison Free

in LeoFinancelast year

Some strange Friday night topics perhaps

Sure are! I can't see any prisoner opting for that.

Maybe prison isn't that bad.

I've become friends with a man who has been on death row in Tennessee for almost thirty years. He has found a way to be one of the happiest people I know. He regrets his actions, and wishes he could see more of his family and friends, but has made beauty a big part of his life on the inside. His joyfulness is contagious. He's made one of the worst places on earth a lot better for everyone there.

Me either, but I think it goes to show then how resilient we are as humans - always live in hope.

I get this. My question is, what about better for the rest? Is it really value adding to society? Making the most of a bad situation, that perhaps shouldn't exist in the first place.

In Finland, the prison system is so different to the US.
