Prison Break

of what we call prison today. Today there are 8 million people in prison and most of them are located in the US. This would be an interesting…

believe that prison is the only way is a path of ignorance. Proof of this comes from; a town in Georgia has figured out an issue that Chicago has been dealing with for years, a criminology report has shown the failures of a prison, and the fraction of issues stopped but a majority rise. A prison is not a way to end a crime. The United States is filled with many towns and cities.

One piece…

vote? in my country and also in the UK, New Zealand and a few other places if you are in prison you cannot vote. Judging by the almost total lack of public discussion about this, most people in the United States at least seem to be fine with that.

The Need For Change The prison systems of the United States are not rehabilitating or changing inmates in any way. When inmates leave prison, they are not changed people. Prison systems have been used repeatedly for those who want to abuse their power as officers. This abuse shows that prisons have a high lack of care for the rehabilitation of inmates.

When somebody in this country has broken the law they put in prison to learn from their mistakes in order to become a well adjusted citizen. This is not the outcome that is taking place at this moment; most people who are in prison are a worst state going out then they were going in. A quote by Gloria Steinem that sums up this idea of the prison system today; he states “ A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space”. Prisons in the United States is not longer helping our society…
