what wrong with our prisons?

This article is talking about the violence in jail. THere are gang members and nonviolent people, most of the people in jail are drugg offenders.

I agree with the writer of this article it seems like we should put the more violent people in jail first and find something to do with the drug offenders because going into jail is not teaching them a lesson its just teaching them more.

Jail is not a safe place, from reading this aritcle and watching about it on TV it seems like criminals learn more in jail rather then learning their lesson and trying to clean up.

It is actually scary knowing that there is this many people in the world that are not in jail that are violent like the gangs.

Even though it seems like the jails are just as violent as the streets now. There is always murders and fights in jail it seems like there is somthing we could do to clean this up.

Though most of the people in jail are drug offenders most of the violence on the streets are drug related too. It like a vicious circle that seems like we have no control over.

I personally can not think of anything we can do to help this but hopefully the government can because it is scary knowing you live in a place like this.
