MSNBC Lock Up is one of many prison shows, in this episode it shows how some people want to be in prison and aspire to be in certain gangs. In the clip I posted a prisoner talks about how he killed a fellow inmate so that he could be in the Mexican Mafia. The prison system has become a place for producing more criminals rather than a place to rehabilitate them into "good" citizens.
I feel as though people who end up in prison for the most part want to be there, or once they are there even if it is for a non-violent crime they become violent. The environment of prisons in no way promotes a better life style for these people. It is a way for prisons to keep people locked up for longer amounts of time and want to stay there.
