...wisdom of Meeks and Weil only recently seems patent. The remarkable fact is not that prisons proved to be uncongenial places for moral improvement, but that it took so long for the U.S. to recognize and confess the folly. The outlook always should have been grim. Riots have beset American prisons from the beginning. But those manifest failures along the way were only specifically disappointing, not generally disillusioning.
