America has a terrible prison system. There some prisons that are better, but as a whole they fail in the purpose they are supposed to accomplish.A good prison system reforms people into becoming honest hard working members of society when they get out. Teaching people crafts and trades is a big part of that. And just working hard for 8 hours on basic tasks is a big part of that process.I often wonder why we have prison industries at all. They take jobs away from non criminal workers.
As for the strike itself, the justice system is a travesty and needs overhaul from front to back. It will go nowhere until someone with influence is incarcerated and is treated like just another arrestee.
Do you think we have a “good” prison system now?
