RE: How Effective is Our Prison System?

in #life8 years ago

Yes and that's part of the problem
having a private industry built around maixmizing imprisonment rates and skimming costs is a recipe for disaster
the incentives are just misaligned
rehabilitation has to be one of the primary focuses or the entire society pays very dearly

Sort:  

yep...I had the private industry in mind, but it's more than that. the hypocrisy starts even before the courtrooms...
people get worse in prison rather than better and that's what shows the whole redundancy of the prison system.
however, I seriously doubt anyone will care to change any of that.
