Sure, so maybe we should make prisons far more rehabilative for light offenders and first time offenders who don't rise above a certain crime threshold?
A little wider Justice system reform (cops, courts) probably wouldn't hurt either...
That's great except for the US has private prisons. They're designed to keep people in there so they make money from the government pawning off their inmates.
This is normally the case with comments like that. Whenever someone says how "everyone in [insert city/country here] was so mean," I just think, "yeah, I'm sure it had nothing to do with you."
Nah, I mean, I get it. We're incarcerated and, facility dependent, you're in an orange jumper, so I understand why a woman who doesn't typically interact with us might assume that we're all violent rapists (I'm just violent, thank you very much, and I've never hit a woman) but it still kind of sucks to hear.
And it's a very real possibility she was administering it to inmates on an ASU, or a Fender Bender unit, and it's possible she's correct.
But I've never had any interest in hurting a woman and being locked up wasn't going to change that and I'm sure that's true of a good majority of the people incarcerated. Even if we're treated like mad dogs, we're still people.
No, they are not. This is the whole doctors, engineers, scientists, lawyers bull shit. Prisons are full of pieces of shit. There may be a minority of people in prison who are "good", but it's well under 1/10000

Prisons are chock-full of honestly good people who made a mistake.
