The objective is supposed to be rehabilitation, but what's really happening is a system of relvolving door patterns on the behalf of the inmates. The privileges that they receive in prison would blow your mind. Catered meals once a month, birthday parties, major medical care for $7.00, etc. The inmates are treated better than staff and seem to have more rights. Inmates use the system to get what they want, then are released back into the general population to continue the same negative behavior that got them sent to prison in the first place. We as c/o's see it everyday inmates are released only to return two to three months later with the same con games mentality. The law will lock up someone for a simple worthless check for 6 months to a year, if the check is worthless then why lock them up? Crack dealers get just as much time as murderers and rapists, what's wrong with that picture? The entire penal system needs to be reevaluated, until then we will continue to have have crime rates. If murderers want to kill so badly send them to Iraq, to kill the enemy, bring back the days of the chain gangs, and ans stop making prison institutions baby sitting facilities.
