I feel that are family should be involved with the prison and asylum reform. The conditions of the prisons and asylums were in horrible. The prisoners were chained to things, the children were mix in with adults criminals, and the people that were mentally ill were treated as if they committed a crime and were beaten. We need to be involved because children don't need to be in prisons with adult criminals, the people in the prisons shouldn't be chained to things or in cages, and the mentally ill shouldn't be treated badly for being themselves.
