Everything about prison hurts society. It's legalized slavery (under the 13th amendment) and the people that get pushed through that meat grinder come out worse people and make the people around them worse as well.

Do you realize what percentage of these criminals can actually be caught? Torturing the unlucky ones who get thrown under the bus does nothing to fix the problem.
