    True, rehabilitation is the modern way. Cruel capital punishment is so medieval

    Imagine if it was done for profit, that’d be the worst thing imaginable!!

      Just a reminder that for profit prisons only house 8% of US inmates.

      The problem is the prison contracts for public prisons.

          No doubt that the US has major issues with prison populations, but there seems to be this idea that most US prisons are privately owned, which isn’t true.
