I do want our prisons vastly reorganised. Did you know most of those inside have difficulty with reading and writing, have clear evidence of untreated mental health issues, and are the victims of intergenerational institutionalisation? We aren't rehabilitating, we are generating new inmates simply by allowing these places to exist. The Scandinavians have a better system, research it and see how much we could improve our own. Soft on crine? We create it by continuing these archaic methods of so called justice.
Just because many disagree with you does not mean we are brainwashed, or ignorant, or not sane, as you put it. It never occurs to you that those countless ones might be right, and you might be the one brainwashed, ignorant, or not sane - but really? To be a balanced thinker, a critical balanced thinker, that is the possibility we all have to allow for - but it requires us to put aside our own fears and examine the facts, thereby risking becoming educated in ways we didn't expect.
Scary thought, and exactly why so many adults become set in their attitudes. And conditioning. Sad really, because learning inspires change, and change is a good thing...
