content: A hundred percent correct. They throw these fucks into jails and prisons which serves a dual purpose. For one, it makes it more difficult to pursue legitimate opportunities. For two, it's basically a giant criminal meet and greet. They talk to eachother, glorify criminal behavior, start rubbing shoulders and coming up with more deviant schemes.  I'm on work release right now for DUI, even though it's a pretty tame program I still see it all the time. It's a Pissing contest to see who is the most menacing to society and they encourage eachother to do even more fucked up shit together once they are out, and the county jail makes it even worse. These fuckers can rob and maim other inmates with no repercussions, even though there's surveillance everywhere. I'm actually afraid these guys know I have money and may or may not show up at my residence, information which is easily attainable thanks to the boys in blue. It's very rare to see people strive to become reformed individuals unless they are already reformed prior to entering. And if you're on the right track, everyone else singles you out and targets you. It's completely counter-intuitive and counter-productive. The list goes on.  And P.S. This is in a nice area, Boulder County Colorado. And no, most of them are not black. I can only fucking imagine what it's like serving hard time in worse counties if this is what Boulder is like. Make no mistake, our jail and prison system manufactures half these degenerate fucks.
