I’m about to contact the IWOC.
There was a citations needed episode where they made the argument that the US prison system is something like a planned economy. Like, if someone refuses to understand how awful it is that the US has 2.2 million + people in prison, many of them not even convicted, will they ever get it? Maybe you’re more patient than I am. If someone is defending our prisons, they’re profoundly ignorant and I can only believe that this is by choice.
I’ve read that since Covid, some prisoners are in their cells 23 hours a day. Others haven’t been outside since March 2020. There is no possible way to defend this system, and anyone that tries will just piss me off.
