I definitely never want to find myself in a prison of any type. Prisons seem like places of absolute misery. The isolation from friends and family, life with the other inmates, and being treated like an animal are all characteristics of the prison life from what I ascertain.
I heard on the NPR the other day a woman talking about how prisons don’t actually work and are basically torture chambers. I don’t think this is far off the mark for most prisons.
Incarceration in the U.S.
In the U.S. we have the highest incarceration rate in the world. We have an estimated 1,230,100 people locked in prisons right now. The current population of the U.S. 336,306,451 people as of 8:36 AM according to census.gov. So roughly 1 out of every 33 U.S. residents are in prison, which is a staggering statistic.
Incarceration in a Foreign Prison
Anyhow, I sure as heck would not want to find myself in any prison. I think the ultimate nightmare would be to find oneself in a foreign countries prison that did not have due process of any kind. You could be locked away, have no idea why, and no trial or appeal.
