I hate everything about this, but the part I hate more than everything else is how 'normal' jails being rife with violence and abuse is just treated as a matter of fact, not as something that needs to be fixed.
No it fucking shouldn't be, what the hell is wrong with these people?
we dont have a justice system. we have a revenge system. it all makes sense when you view it from its reality.
Well if we had reform oriented prisons we would run out of slave labor, duh. That's why it's in the constitution 🦅🦅
In Australia we don't have the slave workhouses you have in the states, but our justice system is still focused on retribution rather than rehabilitation.
Unsurprisingly, both countries started in part as British penal colonies for debtors and convicts.
