I think a couple reasons this is accurate also includes the fact that w/ 5 million incarcerated americans a VERY large section of impoverished families include a "Role Model" behind bars--this does NOT set a very good tone for the family. Some of these being non-violent offenders. Face it there are a lot of areas where we need reform, Education, Criminal Punishment, Mental Health, Gun Laws, etc... Fact is it will probably get a lot worse before it gets better - if it ever does get better. --- We need to go back to where prisons were only for hard criminals that were dangerous to society--let everyone else be on home-arrest so they can still provide for their families. Non Violent/Non Sex-offender? Go-home be w/ your family, but still pay a penalty, still pay your fines, still support your family, and do community service....
