(Written in August)

  2. The public defender system is poorly funded and in shambles.
  3. Poor, mentally ill youths generally end up dumped in jail
  4. Florida sends a lot of teens to prison for life
  5. Our prisons are no longer rehabilitative, often torturous, and we send tons of people to them.
