      Fences, rigid schedule, forced interactions, institutional food, mindlessly boring, mandatory attendance I’m going to do a Foucault and say yes.

              My highschool literally had those and I had to wait in a long-ass line everyday before school, and if students are late, they get blamed for it, I’m not US-Bashing, its just the truth.

      My understanding is that prison is waaaay worse. Needlessly cruel, you might say
