Americans and their weird notions of justice. No interest in solving the problem. Just hide the problem behind bars.

- gaius 17y agoModern Western penal systems assume that everyone can be rehabilitated. They are in the state they are now because that isn't actually true. In the old days people understood this, and that's what penal colonies were for.
