I think we should end the private prison system but that seems to mostly help with preventing them from bribing public officials to increase inmates. Meaning, they are responsible for tougher sentencing guidelines and creating new laws that criminalize citizens.
That's good but both public and private prisons treat people like cattle. This one can go a long way but we need a list of things that we want to hold them accountable to. For example, what laws were broken with Chemda and the others who were in jail with her? Probably none but they got treated like shit and ate garbage. We need some kind of detention bill of rights. Right now, it seems we are holding them to basic human rights. We should have a higher standard for people who go through the system. High level categories seem to be Health (physical and mental) Recreation Education Food What other high level categories are there? |

Idk about you but I don't have to do something illegal in order to be held accountable for my shitty/unprofessional actions at work.

The first prisons in the US were established with a focus on trying to rehabilitate criminals, to transform their violent tendencies so they would come out as productive members of society again. There was a belief that prisoners could be redeemed. Unfortunately this belief waned in popularity once the methods put in place to rehab criminals proved ineffective, mostly because their cures for criminality were fucking stupid. At Eastern State Penitentiary in Philly in the early 1800s, solitary confinement was seen as a revolutionary treatment that would allow prisoners to reflect on their misdeeds and change their bad habits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter...ntiary#History). They designed the building so that prisoners would almost never come into contact with each other. When it actually drove people out of their fucking minds, the people in charge didn't blame themselves, they blamed the criminal mind for being so depraved and beyond repair, and changed their mission from rehabilitating prisoners to punishing them. Anyway, this is all to say I think an attempt to increase the conditions in prisons must be tied to a thorough re-examination of what exactly we want them to accomplish. Currently they house a large population that the rest of society doesn't want to deal with, a population that suffers from systemic problems like poverty, violence, racism, poor health, etc. Like others have said, addressing those problems head on is how we unravel the prison state. |
