> I'm perfectly okay with him being locked up until he decides he's had enough and wants to straighten out. The problem is that prison does an awful job of causing people to figure out that they've had enough and preparing them for walking the straight and narrow. Instead, it indoctrinates them in a culture which is harmful to that reform. The results prove that fighting that peer pressure, while literally locked in it for 2 years, is really hard. And that produces a vicious feedback loop where, after you're out, people think should be back in and segregate you socially, educationally, and financially.
