Spot on, Ken about our horrific prison/corrections system. It has long needed reform, but the law-and-order types will never allow rational discussion of reforms.

And agreed: The NPS is one of our nation’s greatest achievements. A crown jewel.

The only thing I know about prisons I learned watching prison movies and I really hope that remains true the rest of my life. I wonder though, if we spent more money paying guards and improving the conditions in the jails for the prisoners, would there be less violence? I think so. Are we rehabbing prisoners or just housing them? I don't understand the system, and I don't think there is an easy answer. I feel for all those involved.
