This is why I personally don’t believe in jail/prison. Rehabilitation, yes. Jail or prison? No. I’m no professional but I feel as though I have seen countless studies about how our prison system is a failure and how all it does is set people up to come back. That doesn’t even touch on private prisons and their financial incentives to get people back into the system.

Learning about norway made me a prison reformist, learning about the US prison system made me an abolitionist. I’m skeptical that the leviathan of the prison-industrial complex can be reformed.
Our system is so fucked up its insane. Inside, it’s terrible. Outside? Good luck getting a job with a criminal record. It’ll force you to steal to live, then you’ll be thrown back in.
Eric King is an ex political prisoner who has just recently been released, and he has been on a ton of leftist and anarchist podcasts in the past two or three weeks. His interview with The Final Straw Radio gives good insights on how halfway houses suck, and his interview with IGD is a good eye inside prison.
Fuck prisons, fuck cops, this shit sucks.
