Hey, I really admire investigative reporting, it's an absolute neccessity in a society that sees itself as democratic and free.
What is your view on the guards/nurses (idk which term is used in the states)? Do you hold them responsible for the conditions? Do you think they are on the receiving end as well?
Do you think more money alone would help? What other recommendations do you have, based on your experience?
Thanks again for doing this, the videos strongly remind me of former Eastern German homes for disabled, the footage is very disturbing and NSFW as well: https://youtu.be/k4OerTd3B2g The constant nodding and crawling on the ground is no disability, it's a consequence of long detainment without contact to the caregivers, called hospitalism.

From your experience, what impact do rehabiliation programs have? Can you see a trend concerning which offenders benefit most from it, and which ones tend to recidivate?
Do you believe the hard punishments in the US help avoiding crime? I am thinking about teenagers being sentenced to long imprisonments. Or am I totally getting the wrong image by our media that only reports on extreme cases?
In Germany we have a seperate Jugendstrafrecht for young criminals, which can be applied up until the age of 21 if a person lacks behind the expected spiritual maturity. It is connected to more generous verdicts, special prisons where they are amongst peers and intensive care by probation officers and youth workers.
