Welcome to the final part of our series on prisons. This week we cover the unmitigated disaster that is America's prison system.

This one may make you a little mad.Sources:http://www.history.org/foundation/journal/summer11/prison.cfmhttps://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/famous-prisons-incarceration/history-of-imprisonment/http://www.earlyamericancrime.com/prisons-and-punishments/failure-of-the-treadmillhttp://www.yumaprison.org/interesting-stories.htmlhttps://truewestmagazine.com/old-west-jails/https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/11/23/the-hanging-of-black-jack-ketchum-didnt-go-as-planned/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War_prison_campshttp://www.classroomelectric.org/volume2/gruesz/history.htmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatraz_Federal_Penitentiaryhttp://theweek.com/articles/651722/americas-prison-system-inhumane-heres-whyhttps://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/10/how-gangs-took-over-prisons/379330/https://www.laweekly.com/news/wholl-stop-the-reign-2139444
