Re: "Basically it is for show"
I certainly don't disagree with your response to my comment. It's pure shit being locked up and already treated as guilty. It's a lot worse when you're set free, having never been proven guilty, and STILL are treated as guilty by society.
Privatized prisons/jails are an epic failure of my country. Our criminal justice system is often a joke. But herein lies a problem. Who the hell is going to prioritize changing this system? They'll argue that 'most' of the people in prison/jail are guilty, that it's an acceptable failure rate to have a few innocent people caught up in the system. Besides, treating (suspected) criminals better isn't going to win you many votes. Just to make sure of that, felons are prohibited from running for public office and sometimes, even from voting.
