re: #141 researchok

We’ve tried rehabilitation for decades.

No, we haven’t. We make almost no attempt at rehabilitation. Our prisons are mostly prisoner training grounds, where the guards don’t provide any safe space for inmates who actually want to improve.

The state of our prisons is shocking and terrible and a disgrace, and the idea that they’re too rehabilitative is completely fucking bizarrely wrong.
