The article U.S. Prison Myth vs. Mayhem talks about prison system and how a reform is needed.
The whole system is somewhat of a joke now for some reason. The ideology of
people going to prison and coming out as a changed person is a thing of the
past. It is now more of a miracle if that were to happen. People stay the same
when they come out prison and there is no reform happening about it. The prison
system is more like a day care for criminals. The documentary Extreme Prison
Gangs shows how easy it is for
criminals to make alcohol with the food they get. I saw a vending machine with
different types of sodas available for the inmates. These criminals should not
be receiving these types of luxuries after committing heinous crimes. The way
we can change the system is to eliminate all luxuries and provide real basic
materials. We should also implement a type of therapy for the criminals so they
can at least change if they were going back out in the real world.
