… the building of far greater numbers of prison cells, with far more restrictive rules and far fewer useful programs — is a totally wrongheaded approach. First: Health care is appalling inside prisons… Second: Educational and social remedial programs are inadequate… Third: Treating people like caged animals is a sure way to ensure that they will behave like caged creatures and not like socialized human beings… Take note of and repair these problems, and then, and only then, you can consider whether you need or want any expansion of prisons in this country.
