Are you saying that prisons actually reform people now?

I thought they were just private institutions that made insane amounts of money charging people 5 dollars for a pack of ramen and limiting their ability to visit family and friends

Most prisons are not private and I don’t know who “they” are supposed to be but your government isn’t making money off prisons.

Hmmmm then why do they hold you past midnight so they can get paid for an extra day of you being there?

Reading comprehension is hard. They was referring to the prisons. And just because the prison itself isn’t private, doesn’t mean that everything inside it is run by the government.

Wouldn’t know, never been to jail. Show me where I said anything about this.

Reading comprehension is hard.

But being an asshole is easy. And me blocking you for it is equally as easy.

You’re not wrong, but that doesn’t mean we should abandon any attempt at reformation.

When has there been an attempt???

People that work in prisons are basically free labor slaves, yes they get paid, but its nothing compared to the cost of living in there!

The whole system is fucked and needs to be reformed.

They need to take money out of prisons like they need to take money out of politics (good fucking luck)

I never said prisoners don’t need to reformed, I said the system we have in place now is not meant to reform them.

Prisoners get access to counselling, education, and a library right?

I do agree with you that the system is messed up, and making it a for-profit activity just seems plain wrong to me. That said, it’s undeniable that there is some attempt at reform no matter how under-resourced.
