The information that I recieved is from those that have direct contact with the prison system.

With all due respect National Guard "prison" is in no way indicative of what most prisoners are subjected to. They live in constant fear of being raped, getting AIDS, TB is rampant, most are overcrowded and many sleep on urine covered floors because there are not enough bunks. Many join gangs while in prison just to survive. Once released these gang form their only social network. Neither mainstream, nor the church reaches out. These facts are true whether they are hard core when they go in, or merely a drug user, or a stupid kid who stole a car. Our prisons create the dangerous criminals.
