This is actually, to my surprise, an interesting article that is not the same vanilla stuff. It really stears away from the brutality argument - prisons are immoral because they are brutal. That natural extension of that argument is build and manage prisons that are less brutal. He takes on a more fundamental premise...that the very concept of prison is immoral.
I appreciate but disagree profoundly with the premise of this. That said, very thought provoking.
