Well in this case, he’s been/was in prison since he was 14, so I’m sure that’d make a notable difference that could be observed. His crime must have been bad though, no idea what it was.

We all know the US prison system isn’t about reform anyways, I could go deep into this but there’s nothing I’d say you wouldn’t already know - you may know more than me for all I know lol. One thing is for sure, the US prison system is in need of major reform. The notion of private prisons are ridiculous, it’s just a polite way to say “slavery as punishment”, and they’re usually more fucked up than Federal or State owned prisons ironically, as more corruption happens in them and they don’t have to follow the same guidelines.
