Prisneyland: What Prison Should Be
California is proving what real reform looks like.
At Valley State Prison, there were zero homicides in the past year.
In Georgia, there were 333 deaths, and GDC investigated 66 of them as homicides, likely an undercount.
The difference? California invests in education and rehabilitation, not concrete and isolation.
“Prisneyland” isn’t soft — it’s smart. It’s what prison should be.
