What Ismael Nazario learned in prison is unfortunately not as shocking as it should be: US prisons are overcrowded, routinely put minors into solitary confinement that arguably makes them more anti-social, are run for profit (leading to a positive feedback loop of harder sentences for more crimes), and frequently allow sexual and physical violence against the prisoners.
There are ways to help prisoners rebuild their lives, give back to society, and avoid recidivism… but these mechanisms aren’t currently included in the incarceration system.
It is honestly a crime NOT to reform our prison system.
