re: #167 researchok

Your kidding, right?

You’re saying rehabilitation has not been aq significant part of the the justice system for decades?

Nope. We have pretty much given up on rehabilitation. Both in the way people talk about prison as being a punishment, and in the way that we run our prisons.

We don’t actually do what works, because we’re way, way, way too invested in the idea of punishing inmates. As a result, the prisons are basically training grounds for new prisoners, mostly run by the gangs inside them.
