America has more people in jail than any other country on Earth. By at least double. Not per capita, total. The people in the correctional system become stuck in a cycle of it built by the system. We have a private prison complex. We have programs that fast track juveniles into the prison industrial complex.

No, the quality of our prisons is not the worst, but we have the worst correctional system in the world.

I disagree. But neither of us has been to North Korea (or China, or Sudan) recently.
