      Fuck, if we don’t have a better plan than imprisoning someone then I’m gonna be pissed if we don’t offer them opportunities to improve their education and health while they’re locked up. I would like functioning members of society for the society I live in please

        There is full coverage health care and, classes. In addition, the prison system is the #1 provider of mental health services in the United States. Statistically, the women in the system avail themselves of those services, mental and medical, 3x as often as the men.

          That’s really more of an indictment of US health care, isn’t it

            Considering its not great service being provided typically through the prison system… Its a massive indictment of the horror show that is US healthcare, yes.
