Wow 🤯 it’s mind blowing to see how long we have used the same model for prisons in the US. The focus on rehabilitation isn’t really still what’s going on, but they say it is. I wish I could’ve had a garden 🪴

You're wrong about Capone. He was there but it was before his tax evasion case. He got himself arrested on purpose for an illegal gun because it was the safest place at the time because of assassination attempts. I believe after his conviction for tax evasion he went to Leavenworth and the Alcatraz opened and he was sent there.
