John B. Breaux: “I do not think it was so much a problem with the prison as it was with people who ran the prison. It is not the physical…”

“I do not think it was so much a problem with the prison as it was with people who ran the prison. It is not the physical plant that caused the problem. It is the people who were running the prison. If we do demolish a prison, are we not going to have to build another one? It seems to me what we ought to be advocating is not the demolishing of the prison but the replacement of the people who were running the prison with professional people who understand how to treat prisoners. The problem is not the physical plant. The problem is the people running it. I am sort of concerned if we demolish the prison we are going to have to end up building another one because we are going to have prisoners who are going to have to be dealt with over there.”
