Prisons sure cost a lot of money to tax payers. Are you sure they're understaffed or is the staff just apathetic

Yes to both. Keep in mind "understaffed" means lots of things to lots of people.

That prisons aren't basically forced schools and therapy is an atrocity, to me, as an example. It changes the entire concept of what prison is about in ways I find unacceptable

I know a prison guard, not very well but yes we have talked a few times. He was telling me how there is basically no system in place for therapy for them. They see something brutal and they are expected to just come into work the next day which causes PTSD to run rampant.

Messed up.
