At this point, I'd say I hobble the walk, and rest as needed! But I am old enough to remember a half-century ago, when the Democratic Party took an active interest in penal reform. It's been decades since then, of course, and the public tends to forget that most inmates are eventually released.

The amount of human potential that is destroyed by our penal system is immense. And society pays a price. Now, I could be wrong, but I will speculate that as things become worse, there will be less money invested in prisons, at the same time the inmate population increases. What could possibly go wrong?
