Please read this article from Boing Boing, about this guy (Charles Platt) and his experience visiting a pen pal in prison. Its opened my eyes to how little I know about the U.S. penitentiary system and how much it infuriates me. I believe that everything can be better, that we can make everthing better, and if there is one thing that has plenty of room for improvement it is our judiciary system.
If there is one thing that I think everyone can agree on, its that you don't fuck with another persons life. Yet its happening. Need more incentive to read this article? Platt has stats that say that 1 out of every 100 Americans is imprisoned.
The first step to correction, is understanding.
