You will get no argument from me there. The Prison-Industrial complex is evil too, but most people here don’t get to see it.
And why do we have so many inmates? The drug war and government expansion with no end in sight.
“And why do we have so many inmates? The drug war and government expansion with no end in sight.”
Well, you lose me there, I have a long history of advocating for drug laws. I see drug abusers as a societal menace, and have no problem with the pre-emptive incarceration of those “victimless” criminals.
Nevertheless, I am an advocate of prison reform, and would like to see an end to prison rape and other abuses. When there is a will there is a way.
