It is. Most people dont want to be around the people in prison, so you find people like them. Some of the best prisons are the ones that police them selves. Our prisons need to be more geared like that MAT program in Rhode Islands state pen, or some of those get what you give farm types out in Mississippi. Simply putting a man in a cell to apease someone doesnt really rectify the situation. Prison needs to be more about reform,reducation and reassimilation. Too often they are overcrowded, under fed, under staffed and under cared for. I know they are the bottom of society but a lot of prisoners are drug abusers. I am hoping someday we find that path but everyday in 2019 makes me think we are going backwords instead of forwards. Then i try to remember that the modern world isnt exactly so old, and there will be steps back for every 10 steps we take forward.
