Yeah, prison reform is very badly needed in this country.

Essentially torturing people and subjecting them horrific conditions has never left a person better off than they were before.

This is why we need educated, qualified, and ethically motivated people to make decisions about how places like prisons are run. Not greedy, soulless, corporate husks who exist purely to accumulate money.

The for profit prison system needs to be abolished.
