- hans1729 6y agoThe US prison system isn't designed around rehabilitation, but around profit. Just like the US justice system isn't designed around justice, but around righteousness. The fact that us-amerian judges fund their own election campaigns underlines the absurdity, and yet it's just one facette in a reality that's going well beyond the satirical ideas spun towards the end of the last century. Sorry if I'm rambling a bit, I don't want to waste anyones time. It's just hard to swallow the delta between ought and is.

Ironically, while computer skills courses may be unavailable, mobile devices (with Internet service!) are increasingly-common contraband items in US prisons: https://www.forbes.com/sites/walterpavlo/2020/04/19/will-cell-phones-be-the-downfall-of-prisons/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/walterpavlo/2020/04/19/will-cel...
