The US justice system which includes its prisons is a corrupt, rotten racist system. With 2.3 million people in prison we have the largest prison population in the world. One of the reasons as this video below explains is that it is a business, and the purpose of business is to make money, so more prisoners are a good thing, helping them, correcting behavior, providing decent jobs that would keep youth out of prison, that is not good for business. And we should be clear, what happened at Abu Ghraib, and what happens in Guantanamo, happens in the nations jails.
When prisoner "riot" as their media calls it, it is out of desperation and being in a situation where they can't take anymore. The bias against prisoners in the media is the same as strikes. When workers strike, it is a serious and desperate act to win justice, it is a serious and expensive decision.
