Sure, but you're disregarding the whole meaning of the thread. Generality is the focus here not a distinct prison system specifically.

Paraphrasing a comment, there is no way to reverse damage done to a person across 20 years - this isn't just a prison problem but a problem which stretches way further, by intrinsic and extrinsic variables and isnt just limited to a nationality - but happens worldwide.

I do advise to reread the thread, as threads do have the capacity to branch off the main post (conceptually) - unless you replied to the wrong comment.

    Obviously there's no way to reverse time but you can do a damn sight more than you could if they were dead.
