- Experiences of when I went into Suffolk county jail
- Story about person who has had life altered by being in jail
- Anecdote about person rehabiliatated from prison
Factoids:
- three out of every four released inmates go back to jail in 5 years
- Second Highest incarceration rate in the world
- over 50% of prisoners are in for drug charges
Questions:
- What can we do to reduce the amount of people going to jail?
- Should we follow the Scandinavian example and reduce sentence lengths and focus on rehab?
- What is the main purpose of our prison system?
