How I survived a year in ‘the hole’ without losing my mind
I think people are way too quick to "throw the baby out with the bath water" when it comes to prison reform.<p>Yes, private prisons are bad (although, worth noting that private prisons are like 8% of total prisons - a relatively small problem).<p>Yes, over-prosecution of non-violent crimes is a problem.<p><i>The solution is not to let murderers and rapists go free</i>. Over half of all inmates are in prison for violent crime. There are bad people out there. I think it is sickening that people would prioritize the happiness of a murderer over the safety of society. Violent offenders are very likely to re-offend and to escalate their violence.
