i agree with you there. American prisons are a subdued compared to other countries, but that dont mean they are a joke. Have you even been to prison. I know harden criminals that dont want to go back to prison. Prisons will never deter crime. i dont care if its the toughest place in the world. hell, jails in america used to be worst, and it did nothing to deter crime. The reasons that there is so many repeat offenders is because of the system we have in place.

When a prisoner gets outta jail, they are start from nothing. Then when they got to look for a job, they have to put down that they've been to jail and you know honestly that no one will hire you or wants to hire an ex convict even if you've changed. And the only jobs they can get are of the mc donalds variety. So that leaves them with no real way to take care of themselves. So what do alot of them do. They return to the same life they lived before. Our system is flawed. its not really rehabiltaing anyone. its not helping the people that get outta jail secure good ways to be productive with their lives. now maybe a minm. security prison might be a little more lax, but there is nothing like a max security penatentry. 23 hour lock up. suclusion, even if you make it outta a place like that alive, you will never be the same. You got to be crazy to think that something liek that is a cake walk. im not even gonna mention some of the things that go on in jails and prisons.
