It's all scary:
The women who cannot pull themselves out from this abuse,
and the young men who become further damaged by spending time in prison.
I believe that crimes against another persons physical body trump those
more so than all the people sitting in prison for silly drug offenses.
Discussing prison reform is a topic that usually turns towards strong black and white thinking, in my experience.
Unfortunately, especially with our world imploding financially, prison reform, I'm afraid,
is going to end up way at the bottom of priorities.
I'm all over the place here with my comments, and thinking.
Time to re-group.
I know our justice system is very broken, but so is every thing else in the US right now,
where to start? It's overwhelming.
