how would u suggest helping them? i mean actually changing the problem. prison does not help address the root of the problem as reoffending is wildly common. our current system is not aimed at reform or at actually helping people but is aimed at revenge as evidenced by your comment.

in America the revenge (and the free prison labor) is the point of prison but it does not help a single prisoner or the general population. they just get out and reoffend.

How would you suggest helping them? How would you break the cycle of a criminal family? locking them up clearly does not work.
