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.Yes, private prisons are bad (although, worth noting that private prisons are like 8% of total prisons - a relatively small problem).Yes, over-prosecution of non-violent crimes is a problem.The solution is not to let murderers and rapists go free. 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.
