    Can I have some sources? I believe what you just said but the studies might actually say something slightly different.

      Source is a college course from 20 years ago 😭 so I don’t recall specifics, but the idea is that prisons don’t so much as reduce crime as contain it, or shift it around.

      I’m not sure you’d see that in reported crime stats in an area though
