I can understand disdain toward the legal and prison system, especially the private prison system. However, I think time and effort is better invested in early childhood education that raises proactive and self-respecting people. A healthier citizenry puts less demand on the legal and prison system in the first place. George Carlin once said about the politicians we keep choosing, “These people are the best we have. Garbage in, garbage out.”

We don’t promote good values, celebrate mediocrity, and promote degeneracy

That’s right! I think a lot of it has to do with profit incentives and postmodernism. Not that I promote it, but I’ve been hearing that religion is on the rise in the US, which is an example of people returning to a definite code of morals at the very least. Things like that give me hope.
