Re: "My Four Months As A Private Prison Guard." Read this.

Gods, this is so it.

To a large number of people, the system isn't about justice, let alone rehabilitation; it's about vengeance. You can see it and hear and it and feel it whenever people discuss what should be done to criminals and what "law-abiding citizens" should do to protect themselves. It's all fear and anger and hatred, and there's no room for compassion because those "people" deserve it, and they're rotten and can't be changed, anyway. Lock 'em up and throw away the key.

And that attitude is encouraged by the manner in which crimes are reported and the way in which we portray criminals. We tend to treat suspects as if they've already been convicted, and construct tidy narratives around that assumption, and shift the nature of the narrative depending on what the suspect looks like.

We're returning to the times when we've overtly, as a matter of course, considered entire swaths of people to have been born "undesirable," and those people fall into the exact same groups that they once did (or, well...always have, I suppose): they're poor; they belong to a race other than the dominant one; and/or they're mentally ill.
