The barbaric prison system in america will continue to be barbaric and nothing will be done about it for 2 main reasons. for one since prison is a business and rehabilitation is not profitable, prisoners must be abused, housed in degrading conditions and treated like dogs instead of human beings who made mistakes, don't forget the permanent records slapped on them to prevent them from getting employed and turning their lives around. that design almost guarantees that many people will reoffend and go back in because ya know how else are they gonna profit? and two there's a huge lack of empathy from the public, most are completely fine with the way they are, you can go on any article related to prison and the comments are always like "shouldn't of broke the law" "it's not a 5 star hotel" like these people genuinely believe that beatings, sexual assaults, and risk of death should be apart of a prison sentence then be the same ones acting surprised when they come out worse. attempts at reform get labeled "coddling criminals" and fail. so yeah it will never change, doing so is going to require a cultural change which the chances of that happening in this lifetime is near 0.

It's so pathetic seeing what's happening in america and the population there is just not doing shit. they're just taking it like good little boys and girls, you'll either see them complaining online about it, or telling people to wait until the elections as if this is some shit that can just be voted out. or you'll see them do some bullshit ass peaceful "protests" like that no kings march which was beyond pathetic. and what gets me the most is when they're online asking for other countries to intervene and it's just like are you for real? like no there's not gonna be any foreign intervention, no there's not gonna be any politician who will magically save the day. like I don't get why they think someone will come and save them because that's not happening, this is not Disney this is real life and they need to realize this is something they're going to have to handle themselves, and the few times there's been attempts to start something (ex. toilet paper worker, Luigi) nobody ever backs them up to keep it going, instead they just get turned into memes and that's it. the ancestors would be truly disappointed in the cowardice and docility of americans. that hellhole will continue getting worse and they have nobody to blame but themselves.
