Expensive illogicalities and inefficiencies do not worry the monsters of American bureaucracy, and the taxpayers are enthusiastic and eager to spend fortunes in the name of fighting crime. Prison places cost the US taxpayer more than university places.

Conditions are appalling, varying from windowless, sensory-deprived isolation to barren futile brutality. — Howard Marks
