I know people who work in the rehabilitation and related justice systems and I figure there is no way they can be hopeful about the world. It is just sad. They literally work with what is wrong with our society. The author of the article writes himself there is little joy in his work. I think taking a moment to understand their frustrations might give insight into what we can’t do as a society, like mass incarceration, and the consequences thereof. Their frustrations should be understood and read so we know the price of our rights and even sometimes calibrate our responses or find new solutions. As an engineer I get pissed off if a colleague who made a huge blunder tries to pass it as a no biggie that unluckily got its way into production. I can’t imagine working with the bottom of the bottom of our society.
