      The surf and turf after getting stoned likely takes the edge off the guilt.

      I’ll be real: if our goal is to make prison a place of rehabilitation, I don’t see why we would restrict access to meal prep stuff. Cooking is obviously good for inmates.

      And while we’re at it, marijuana and tobacco should be available too, without having to pay exorbitant commissary fees.

        Prison is not designed to be a place for rehabilitation. Prison is designed as:

        • A profit center
        • A method for people who want to exert control over the populace to do that

        It is, as you said, actively hostile to the goal of rehabilitation. Some of that is deliberate, because recidivism is further profit for the people involved in the system, and some is just how it happens.

        The system also happens to occasionally fulfill a useful goal of keeping violent or dangerous people off the streets, but almost every single other thing that it does is harmful.
