- Simulacra 7y agoI find it incredible that it took this long, but as others have noted, not enough attention has been given to the abuse at the hands of guards, and prison officials. There needs to be a desperate, urgent overhaul of the entire penal system in America. We no longer see a system where it's better for ten criminals to go free, rather than one innocent person go to prison. Innocent and guilty alike are going to prison, and suffering inhuman conditions. Then we expect them to magically pop out on the side of a sentence and somehow be "reformed".
