HUMANE prisons
ezs note: I recently saw how Germany's prison is working, and how then-governor Dannel Malloy's (CT) visit there went. I do believe that certain persons do deserve imprisonment... but humane imprisonment. If you agree with 60 Minutes, please email your governor, state representative, and state senator, and tell them that this stupid system is NOT working. Thanks.
