I know that piling on Venezuela and Socialism is shooting dumb fish in a small barrel but I can’t quit. There’s a part of the tragedy I hadn’t previously considered. It had never occurred to me that a nation could be too poor to operate a prison. Holy shit! What to you do then? Clearly some people must be in jail. But what if your nation is so crapped out that you can’t manage a prison? There is nothing worse than putting a person in a cage and starving them to death. It’s just too ugly to ignore: Prisoners starve to death in Venezuela’s jails as country’s economic collapse sees food and medicine run out.
