My heart is bursting. On the eve of my first child's birth, my dad - who's been in prison nearly my entire life - was granted clemency. He never intended harm, yet his crime devastated many families. My heart breaks for the families that can never get their loved ones back.

If prison is “rehabilitation” as so many like to call it then why wouldn’t anyone be happy for him to be leaving now? People would rather punish each other into oblivion than try to love them beyond their faults.

So, love and therapy won’t prevent the criminals from committing more crimes. Confining them to controlled spaces, assures they can’t do more harm to the innocent people, attempting to be productive citizens. Prison should be for confinement, not rehab.
