Central Office Matrix

Year after year, our prisons grow. More and more of our fellow citizens are behind bars - many of them with only minor infractions, yet they are now neighbors of gangs, rapists, and murderers. How does this make them better? Effectively shut out of society and thrown into an even more violent place - how can we even imagine that upon release, they're going to be better? Sounds pretty crazy to me.

Even crazier when you see that locking people up doesn't stop crime. Hell, even killing people to show that killing people is wrong doesn't work. People are still killing each other.

But check this out. Beautiful. Now, who knows if it will work or not. But, at least they're trying something new because it is quite obvious that locking people up (we have more people in prison than any other country in the world) does not work.

We used to be a forward thinking nation, we use to rise above. What happened? Our bridges are falling down, our own kids can't find the U.S. on a map, our President is a C student, New Orleanians drown and we watch it on TV.
