Inside Death Row

Today I watched a documentory about the life of prisoners in Indiana Maximum Security Prison in America. This showed me how the men who are serving over 100 years or are on 'death row' do not have access to any rehabilititation. This means that if they ever had the option for parole they would likely be released as the same person they were before. The men were able to work, like in the UK, but only if they can show that they are no longer 'dangerous'. This means that arguably the people who need the most rehabilitation get the least.
