"In theory, each individual does have a personal responsibility not to slip back into criminal activity once out of jail. But our prison system, and the laws that surround it, seem designed capriciously to ensure that as few individuals as possible meet that responsibility. Ex-convicts, especially felons, are methodically walled off from the relational networks of people who haven’t been to jail. Reintegrating into respectable society — socially, economically, psychologically, and politically — is a daunting task compounded by the burdens of the tattered personal lives many ex-cons are suddenly thrust back into on their release."
— James Poulos, “Is the Free Market Our Only Hope for Prison Reform?”
