Don't get me wrong? I don't have all the answers...

A Poem by Onlyme

Don't get me wrong
I don't have the answer to help
people who fucked up and
did bad things.

But all I can understand and see
is Prisons. Actually, don't help
broken people long term.

I really honestly do believe it
just makes them more resentful
and hateful towards the outside
world. And they are mixing with
others who have done far worse
crimes than them inside.
So just learning new skills long term.

As for death row. They have actually
killed the odd innocent person the odd time.
Who years later. Got proven
they have nothing to do with so-called
said crime. They got eventually executed
for doing. How ironically, sad is that. Killed
for something you didn't do at all. But made
out that you did do it.

And other times. Maybe the odd person.
After 20 or 30years of doing time. Gets
let free. As proven they did nothing. And
was not there at all,  at the crime scene.

I just can't understand the point of prisons
locking someone up 24hrs and then expecting
them afterwards if they do the time. They
are going to be happy campers long term once free
. And forget they got locked up.
For being a bad person.

I have no idea. What would help them long term?
But that No... from money laundering, muggings,
drug dealers, whatever. Maybe putting them on their own island.
And they run it. Their way between
themselves forever. Who knows?  Not I.
