EP #220 - Prison Is Closer Than You Think, Rules, And Amputations Won't Solve The Problem
Bobby and Co-host JD are back this week and dive into how easy it is to imagine you'd never end up in prison. "There but for the grace of God go I." Have you ever had that extra beer, or glass of wine, and got behind the wheel? There's a difference between intended violent criminal actions, and accidents, but the media and general population don't always make that distinction.
Also, imagine a daily existence where regulations are presented as absolute, but make no sense at all because the very structure of prison life makes them nearly impossible to live by. It creates an atmosphere where in order to survive in prison you have to decide which rules warrant breaking. It teaches inmates that not all rules are necessary to follow. That's bad for everyone when that carries over to the outside world. Society needs prisons, but the way they're created actually makes things worse. You wouldn't cut your arm off to treat arthritis. The guys talk about how prison reform is easier than most think.
