There's this prison in Delaware where there were 3 inmates to a cell (2 on bunk, 1 on the floor) and they used this gymnasium to hold about 100 of them all together. Crazy

I really hope prison reform gets put into the mainstream consciousness soon. It is legitimately an evil, immoral, and unjust system that dehumanizes people for the sake of profit, not to mention just makes it likely they'll just go back to prison once released.

Felons not having the right to vote doesn't help.
They do have the right, eventually. After 5 years of sentencing you can petition the courts for your civil rights back.

If people who are actually in prison can't vote, what's the incentive to make conditions any better though?
Oh, you mean those incarcerated at the time. Yeah, ya right.

capitalism + racism
Capitalism in my opinion is the big problem that effects everyone in the justice system.

Dosnt help that the courts will send you to federal prison for petty crimes further inflating the numbers.

The reason why is that American society has a desire for revenge.

It has nothing to do with capitalism. There are plenty of capitalist countries in the world with much better prison systems, who focus mainly on rehabilitation rather than punishment.

Even after serving their sentences, many former felons have lost multiple rights and opportunities. Of course it's easy to say that they shouldn't have put themselves in the situation, but purposely limiting what they need to function properly in society just hurts them and everyone else with no one really winning except the ones we pay to lock them up all over again.

As bad as our system is, it definitely isnt the worse. Go to a Russian, mexican, middle east, african, or south american prison instead and you will find out how bad it really is.

Now this isnt to say our system needs to be reformed or it is perfect. Yes to both but it's far from the worst.

oh capitalism plays a huge part, seeing that we've got plenty of states locked into contracts with private prisons that pretty much force them to keep them populated with inmates charged for bullshit crimes...

That sounds more like greed and corruption.

Private prisons exist because someone realized they would make money. They are highly immoral though, and they should have been banned immediately by the government. Greed and corruption are not exclusive to capitalist governments nor do they need to exist in a capitalist government.
