> Why do you think the intention to rehabilitate in the US isn’t sincere? High recidivism (shows it's at least a failure), focus on punishment (mandatory minimums, etc...) for things like drug possession, cruel bail system, "tough on crime" judges, legalized prison slavery, heavy use of solitary confinement, outright criminal levels of cruelty, normalized prison rape, stigmatization of felons, etc... They had prisoners fight california wildfires for slave wages. They justified it as it was voluntary and they were learning a skill. Felons can't become firefighters in california.
