Good post Stormsmith.
American prisons are a national disgrace. They house many people who ought not be there, many people who ought not be there very long and a great many will leave far more damaged than when they got there.
We do not practice rehabilitation in the US at all. We practice retribution. There are 18 year olds in prison in the US doing several years for car theft. They will not be required to attend school or training. They will however, learn a lot about how to become a better criminal.
We should start with the drug nonsense. Putting people in jail for drug related offenses is absurd. Even small time dealers should not be there. Maybe someday.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.
