prison system and an apology

I am sorry I havent posted in so long, but duty calls. Whatever. In response to the prison system critique, I think that half of those people shouldnt be there and you should help the other half to improve themselves. If they arent educated they wont know how to do anything except commit crimes (sell drugs, steal cars, etc). And since most of them will end up taking low wage manual labor jobs when they get out you may as well get built while they are serving their time. I guess it boils down to whether you think criminals are born that way or if they are made (and consequently could be un-made) by society. All I know is if you make prison hell, you will produce demons.
