   Unfortunately, prisons are reality.  They are being used as tools   
   of injustice, repression and genocide.  Therefore, the only good   
   prisons - are empty prisons. And the only good prison guards -   
   are the dead ones.   
      
   Anyone who defends perpetuation of the incarceration industry   
   with any excuses one may bring up is either incredibly stupid   
   sadist, or an extreme hypocrite... Otherwise prisons would have   
   vanished long ago, considering their presence is damaging to the   
   contemporary standards of Human Rights, as well as conflicting   
   with abolishment of slavery in ALL OF ITS FORMS.   
      
   And although all of the details of brutality of prisons are   
   always there, they are insignificant in the pool of total and   
   complete lawlessness of the incarceration industry, let alone -   
   its unquestionable illegality.
