Jane Velez-Mitchell made a very good point in her article,looking back as a teen i can see how she makes so much sense. I remember when i was living in the states there was alot of friction between the cops and youths,like they were swine and deserve the worst when in custody,and being verbally abused by my parole officer,but they only understand one side of the story. I read this in her article and its so true in north America,she stated"
"Our current system is broken because it is too focused on tossing criminals behind bars and hoping they get the message instead of rehabilitating them."
Theres nothing but a growing resentment and miserable people that's one of the reasons why i moved back to Canada,I'm not saying Canada is the best but the incarceration ideal is not as severe in Canada. Companies in the incarceration "business" are making to much money from this,so i don't see this problem going away,there is just alarming ratio of people in prison and the population is huge.
