There is a lot we could learn from other countries but won't because we're stuck on punishment. I'm wondering how good ole' Putrumpski is going to "Make  America Great" by locking up even more people in prison. Is he going for the all time, biggest world record of number of incarcerated American citizens? I mean, we're already number one in numbers of people incarcerated, for the longest sentences at the fastest rate of any country in the world.  Seems to me that America must be the most criminal, law breaking, dishonest country of all with  25% of the populous locked up,   and it's had that dubious distinction for many, many years. Then there's Alaska, with it's high recidivism rate, despite all the years we keep people locked up. Hmmmmm.  I wonder why? Could it be that we've been doing it wrong? Actually making everything worse? 
The answer is a resounding YES.
