    Yeah, local jails are bad, and juvenile facilities are even worse. Been in both (but luckily not a federal facility).

    The entire criminal justice system in the U.S. is evil. It’s all about money and retributive “justice” to get votes/campaign money. It serves no purpose otherwise, because it sure as hell ain’t built to rehabilitate people. Any attention to the wrongs of the system is welcome, IMO.
