This is for Sarah, who is one of the above 3. Some interesting posts in the comments (if you ignore mine), but no direct discussion of _why_ prison reform is a political third rail.
I suppose indirectly there's some evidence however: many people say our massive imprisonment gets results, and the fact that the rest of the world isn't as unique as us explains why we need to imprison 1 out of every hundred adults. So what's to reform?

How to cheer up Sarah:
Step 1: Post about prisons.
Check.
Oh, yeah, and I know at least four people who care about prisons. OK, one of those is me, but that's more than three.
