So just to be clear…. The media is to blame for reporting on actual conditions that existed. Not people reacting or overreacting without looking into it themselves in more depth?

And let’s be real, the issue of retribution rather than rehabilitation is what the prison system was founded upon… so I don’t think a story in 1980 really changed Americans’ attitude all that much.
