While I don't condone what Slacker has done, American prisons really, really bother me. Canadian prisons have a high success rate, and in Slacker's case, he'd get a year in jail and then maybe two years of probation. When you're in prison here, you have access to high school and post-secondary courses amongst many, many other support programmes.
So in Slacker's case, I think what he had done was stupid, but I feel sorry for his ass simply because you cannot really better yourself in the American prison system.
