There are more prisons and prisoners than there ever have been.

Fun fact: Prisons didn't even exist in most of human history, dungeons and oubliettes for nobles to keep each other in notwithstanding.

Look around.

We have public executions every hour of the day.

Mentally ill fentanyl deaths.

WhatтАЩs more compassionate than a society that provides for the mentally ill a means to die peacefully by their own hand?

I love you David Cashion. But national restoration sucks. Almost as much as North Carolina.
