this is SUCH an important issue, and one that I have written about.. It is a Very sad state of affairs that prisoners are treated like animals (or indeed that animals are treated like animals!).. and that prisons are run as a business that only profit from people reoffending and returning..

The prison system should indeed be ALL about rehabilitating people so that they can integrate back into society. I see the current system as a symptom of what i can only call ruthless capitalism. How can we treat people like animals and expect them to behave like humans.

I have upvoted this post from the @ecotrain minnow support project and hope this encourages you to keep writing great posts!
