Prison article summary 

The article “U.S. Prisons: Myth Vs. Mayhem” is about what really happens in U.S. prisons. These prisons are so over crowed that the guards can’t control them all so riots break out a lot. A lot of money is spent on just housing these inmates instead of trying to help them change. More money is being spent to expand the already huge prisons. People believe by sending someone to prison that person is being trained to return to society. This is not the case. Prisons are good for keeping dangerous people off the streets, but sometimes because of the way the justice system works those dangerous people are put back on the streets. Most of the people in prison are repeat offenders and these repeat offenders are usually very violent.
