RE: Prisons Should be Designed to Rehabilitate not Punish.
Yeah, that's another very complicated issue. Essentially we'd have to solve the crime rates in ghettos which isn't an easy task. I think we could afford to improve prison life right now if we were less strict with drug-related crimes and maybe borrowed from our mega bomb dropping fund?
But yeah, it probably won't happen. Just...wish it would. :>
Better education at school and programs for parents in these ghettos will help a lot. That's prevention as well. Kids need to learn that 'the streets' is not where you learn quality stuff in life. The streets is probably where people are that live according to very different rules and values.
Drugs? I'm guessing you're from the US? I'm from the Netherlands so perhaps you know we aren't that strict on certain types of drugs. I think the US can and must evolve in their way of thinking. There are several other countries in the world that have proven to have a better track record when it comes to drugs in society.
And the bombing.... yeah millions seemingly wasted there. Seemingly, because I'm sure it helps economies in one way or another, eventually...
Ahhh money....
