It's based on a book I read recently, and for the life of me, I can't remember which one. Unfortunately, I can picture the page I read, but not the cover of the book or even enough of the rest so that I could fish it out.
Be that as it may, all of our "systems of incarceration" don't work as far as the original "paying your debt to society and returning to it" concept.
And, no, I don't have any brilliant solutions as to how to fix it. I'm generally about 15 minutes away from either emigrating or becoming an anarchist.
