    I think only few countries on entire planet whose prison systems are made to prevent crimes by solving people’s problems instead of keeping them criminals by worsening them.

      Yeah that’s the unfortunate truth. And in the US it’s definitely a system that looks for people to victimize, there are financial and political incentives to doing so. We’re not going to solve it in the short term but the first step has got to be a wide realization that something is wrong there.
