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

What in our current system of incarceration is actually helping rehabilitate inmates? Do you really think it's working, as it is? People should be held accountable for their actions but throwing them in prison doesn't seem to actually do that.

It has to be imagined if we want it to exist. Continually choosing the option that doesn't work and saying "well, there don't seem to be other options" doesn't make it a good choice.
