76 percent of all inmates end up back in prison in 5 years. Food for thought.

Well, is prison for reform or punishment? If it's punishment then maybe we should just have the death penalty for most serious crimes. Also food for thought.

In the US it exists primarily for the profit of private actors. They certainly have no interest in reform, that would fuck up their business model.
