Not a Question BUT the prison system really irks me sometimes.

I hate the tragic cycle most people face in the USA. It seems as if once you are in the system there is little hope to get you fully recovered. Prison is more about punishment than rehabilitation which just makes people getting out of prison harder to stay out. Like most jobs wont hire you if you are a criminal yet you need a job in order to keep up your parole. I understand that people make wrong choices but for petty crimes it seems as if we are just making people more messed up instead of helping them get better.
