I'm glad to see that he is learning in prison, talking and working through things. This really is the point of prisons: not just a place to keep people but a place to reform them.

Anyone of us could become a criminal given the right pressures and circumstances. I wish all prisons would reform and educate their inmates and that they come out as better people who can live a peaceful and productive life.

You are wrong. The point of US prisons is punishment.

I don't live in the US. But I would hope that eventually prisons would adopt the mindset to reform inmates rather than just keep them locked up for nothing.

That will only lead to frustration and trouble
