IMO the reason why Americans are capable of having the penal system we do is because so many of us never have to think about it. This is Mother Jones. This will not be CNN or FoxNews or MSNBC. 60 Minutes might do an exposé, but it will be 'balanced' by vested interests, and viewers might only walk away feeling uneasy, not repulsed.
