The Hypocrisy Known as American Incarceration

Honestly, I think the state government SHOULD step in and help protect family of the incarcerated who didn't aid and abet the fathers who are now incarcerated. The fact that this doesn't happen in life destroys countless children's futures, and worsens crime statistics in urbanized areas. You can't blame every social problem and pitfall on inmates and their families (by "association"). The family of a criminal isn't the one that did anything wrong, and they should not be treated as such, and expect to have a healthy or fully functional society. If the state can help keep the HOMELESS VAGRANTS in shelters, it can do the same for families of the incarcerated. The state is the one who destroys and breaks up families just as much, if not five times as much as the incarcerated themselves do. And therefore the state is destroying the lives of countless wives and children who often have done nothing wrong themselves, other than being raised by, associated with (against their will), or in anyway linked to incarcerated criminals who they very well could have often had no real control over. Just because people make bad decisions in life does NOT mean their families should always suffer unless they aided and abed the situation. With the way America is set up, jail doesn't end the world, but the world ends in jail. WHY??
