The "American prison system" is a pretty broad brush that includes county jails (people do end up there for months/years), state run facilities, federal facilities, etc. Pretty sure as a whole, most of the prison population can read.
- Supermancho 5y agoIn other threads I've been flamed for the pedantry of conflating prison vs jail. Smart people avoid thinking about the US prison system and will defend their views rather than admitting it's full of hard problems, for which they have no good answers...while criticizing that everyone else is doing it wrong.
- tyingq 5y agoI do agree there are hard problems. But truly free books is easy to solve.
