“There are many unattractive aspects to prison too. But one aspect most advocates won’t realize is, a prison is just a domain like any other. Except prisons are by very definition domains which aggregate criminal social activity. Thus, one undeniable aspect is, they operate as super-nodes of criminal behavior; hubs for knowledge-transfer and viral information exchange like universities, hospitals or military bases — only in this case its all of the criminal sort and subversive to society. This of course benefits the criminals as you can imagine, so while you put the worst minds together, they communicate, now in consort, to nodes that freely redistribute within the whole system, in the form of visitors.”
