>, it felt like the system was robbing itself while making everyone worse off in the process.

More like robbing the taxpayers to pay you (assuming your agency was state funded), the guards, the food supplier, etc. etc.

Thousands of livelihoods are supported by crappy prisons and the war on drugs.

The only thing we should be "at war with" is this pathetic excuse for a fucking government.

The jail system couldn't even keep the worlds number one criminal from being brutally murdered, with the guards sleeping and the tapes "not working" (Epstein)

Agreed probably but I would consider el chapo to be the world's number one incarcerated criminal.
