This article fucking rocks, and it depresses me that I'm in here first. I'd love to see a Rachel Maddow and Jim Webb hour on why prison reform matters. That would be really enlightening.

ahaha well yeah I don't post articles like this for the comments (and Greenwald probably doesn't write them for the comments), otherwise I would just be on Meghan McCain report 24/7

omg that would be awesome, no?

this is SO awesome, this guy is amazing for doing this. people need to pay attention to all the problems in our prisons, and more importantly we need to FIX THEM. this better pass.

I read this article in Parade and it made me so excited that we do have someone like Webb, doing the things he promised to do. I took this class last year and one whole unit was on how messed up the prison system is and how it needs serious reform...and I don't think we even scratched the surface on the issues.

Webb 2016....?!

UGH, if only. I don't think he likes campaigning enough for that, though. Maybe the 2016 nominee's VP or part of his/her cabinet?

Finally some sensibility and testicles in congress.
