Hector Bravo discusses retaliation by Correctional Officers (COs) against inmates and offers insights on systemic reforms. When asked about the persistent struggles ex-felons face, Bravo suggests addressing problems at the root, particularly focusing on youth in crime-ridden areas. He advocates for clear guidance and opportunities for the youth to divert their paths away from crime.
Bravo criticizes the current criminal justice and parole system, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach. He believes that while lifers should be given a second chance, the manner in which releases are handled is often flawed, leading to further chaos and violence. Furthermore, he underscores the necessity of incentives-based rehabilitation rather than extreme punitive measures or leniency.
Highlighting the systemic bias and stigmatization against former inmates, Bravo points out that many who served long sentences have successfully reintegrated into society, but societal prejudices persist. He urges for a medium where former inmates are given hope and opportunities based on their behavior, advocating for common decency and practical reforms.
