It's going to take more than what goes on in prisons. We need to change what we as a society consider to be deserving of imprisonment. Decriminalizing MJ is a big step in the right direction for that. (Which is not to say we need to go full opposite and decriminalize all drugs.)I’d also support a nationwide effort to reform prisons. My experience is basically limited to NatGeo prison shows so I don’t have the exact answer but we need to do something to reduce recidivism. Education, job training, counseling, whatever.
Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful post, @wink .
