THE WASHINGTON WAY, Part I (The Three Stooges/Prison Guards)

For decades Washington State Penitentiary prisoner Greg Brown has advocated that Washington state uses citizens' tax dollars to build and fund more and more jails and prisons for the sole purpose of creating and maintaining more jobs for prison guards, employees, and officials. Greg Brown addresses Washington state's commitment to adopt Norway's correctional approach that requires humane treatment of prisoners, pointing out that Norway implemented its humane correctional system by disciplining and getting rid of its "bad apples" who refused to adhere to their humane correctional treatment plan, and pointing out that Washington state refuses to get rid of its "bad apples." In this way, Greg Brown demonstrates that Washington state continues to use citizens' tax dollars to build and fund more and more jails and prisons for the sole purpose of creating and maintaining more jobs for prison guards, employees, and officials.
