I think it’s weird that they’re saying a former inmate wouldn’t already have the opportunity to add value to society

Are you trying to say the US incarceration system (that still uses the loophole to enslave people left in the 13th amendment, then sells the labor to private companies in states like Louisiana and Mississippi which undercuts local wages while the politicians in charge blame immigrants for stealing jobs) isn't set up to actually rehabilitate people?!!

But if we educated them and gave them the dorm rooms prisoners basically get in Sweden, they would figure out the system is against them and revolt. That's why they make sure free voters are just as dumb. Cut education, ban books, act like $15/hr is too much (even though my dad made $27/hr stocking shelves with a pension in 2011), and constantly do everything you can to manipulate the vote (with Wisconsin Republicans winning 5/8 majority with 1/3 of the votes last state election). Coincidentally why these same people hate "woke" people, because being woke is basically just being smart enough to figure out there are systemic inequalities and they should be fixed.
