In this episode, we discuss how the escape of Danilo Cavalcunte proves that the penal system must be reformed.

 

We discuss:

1.    How this is a youth center as well and the inconvenient

truth of how many children around the nation are in cages under the guise of “law and order”

2.   Whether or not it is appropriately named a “correctional” complex since there has been no discussion of Danilo being mandated to treatment and/or rehabilitation programs during his time in their custody (and why that may have changed his mindset and prevented him escaping)

3.     Why over-criminalization is the real danger to society: i.e., guards not being able to focus on those who should be most watched

4.     Why, as Dr. Martin Luther King said, “an eye for eye just leaves everybody blind.”
