As a result, women prisoners, most of them serving less than two years for drug offenses and other nonviolent crimes, are thrust into a one-size-fits-all world.
What about male prisoners that are there for the same thing ? Drug offenses and nonviolent crimes ?
What about them ?Fuck them they aren't female.
Also in this sentence we can observe the western culture's fixation on violence as the "worst" type of negative behaviour.
What about fraud or blackmail ? Ah, well that is a "clean" crime, there is no blood and fighting, so it must be not as bad.
Nevermind that it hurts the victims just as much if not more.
Inside, they are governed by rules and practices that ignore their distinctive pathways into crime and do little to help them mend their tattered lives.
The lives of male prisoners aren't tattered of course, and all of them have only one "male criminal" pathway into a crime, they aren't individuals with different circumstances.
Circumstances only matter for women.I totally agree that different people end up being in prison for different reasons, and yes, some of them might need a different approach than the more violent psychopath-like criminals.
I even thought before this much before I gained interest in anti-feminism and sexism.
On the other hand, the European prison system seems to be too soft on even violent psychopath-like criminals. Or at least this is what my European friends tell me, I don't know much about this.
It's much less heavily used than the american prison system, so it makes sense.
Maybe Galt or The sad geek could tell something about this...
