Reply to comment by [deleted] in A Pennsylvania prison gets a Scandinavian-style makeover – and shows how the US penal system could become more humane by JBupp

It doesn't have to be the point of incarceration. I think prisons should normally be for rehabilitation. Studies show that most crime is out of desperation rather than malice so I think if we can use prisons to help people be better ready to succeed in society instead of using prisons to deter people from crime out of fear then we will, overall, improve the crime rates.

Half of my family is police force (my uncle just graduated yesterday!) so that’s a dumb assumption on your part. And what does the police force have to do with our prisons you act like the police are judge and jury.
