􀁆 We want offenders to have self-worth, so we destroy their self-worth.

􀁆 We want them to be responsible, so we take away all responsibilities.

􀁆 We want them to learn to be part of our community, so we isolate them from our community.

􀁆 We want them to be kind and loving people, so we subject them to hate and cruelty.

􀁆 We want them to quit being the tough guy, so we put them where the tough guy is respected.

􀁆 We want them to stop hanging around losers, so we put all the losers in one state under the same roof.

􀁆 We want them to be positive and constructive, so we degrade them and make them useless.

􀁆 We want them to be trustworthy, so we put them where there is no trust.

􀁆 We want them to be nonviolent, so we put them where there is violence all around them.

􀁆 We want them to quit exploiting us, so we put them where they exploit each other.

􀁆 We want them to take control of their lives, own their problems and stop being a parasite, so we make them totally dependent on us.
