People who oughta be in prison

In the sweat lodge tonight one thing we prayed for- well, we prayed for basically everyone, but one people we prayed for were people in prison. So terrible, that. A song by System of A Down goes:
"No flag is large enough to hide the shame of a man in cuffs."
I don't know if that means as it might people in prison in general, or something else perhaps. The song (ADD: American Dream Denial) is very powerful, and it's sad the people who should be in prison aren't. (And I don't think punitive justice is a good idea.)

We fought your wars with all our hearts,
You sent us back in body parts,
You took our wills with the truth you stole,
We offer prayers for your long lost soul.
The remainder is,
An unjustifiable, egotistical, power struggle,
At the expense of the American Dream,
Of the American dream, of the American, of the American.
We don't give a damn about your world,
With all your global profits and all your jeweled pearls,
We don't give a damn about your world,
Right now, right now.
We don't give a **** about your world,
With all your global profits, and all your jeweld pearls,
We don't give a **** about your world,
Right now, right now.
There is no flag that is large enough,
To hide the shame of a man in cuffs,
You switched the signs then you closed our blinds,
You changed the channel then you changed our minds.
We don't give a damn about your world,
With all your global profits and all your jeweled pearls,
We don't give a damn about your world,
Right now, right now.
We don't give a **** about your world,
With all your global profits, and all your jeweld pearls,
We don't give a **** about your world,
Right now, right now.
No flag large enough
Shame on a man in cuffs
You closed our blinds
The remainder is an unjustifiable, egotistical power struggle at the expense of the american dream, of the american dream,of the american...
We don't give a damn about your world,
With all your global profits and all your jeweled pearls,
We don't give a damn about your world,
Right now, right now.
We don't give a **** about your world,
With all your global profits, and all your jeweld pearls,
We don't give a **** about your world,
Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now, right now...[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]
And I really love this song:
[LEFT][B][SIZE="2"]Thetawaves
[COLOR="DarkRed"][B][SIZE="3"]
The unsettled mind is at times an ally,
Leaving the senses to fend for them selves,
The senses collect undeniable data,
About beta carotine and theta waves,
The unsettled mind is at times an ally,
Leaving the senses to fend for them selves,
Then, the senses wanted the sky,
All rise, I fall,
Time feels like a midnight ride,
Finality waits outside,
Weeping in perplexity's arms,
Curessing our smiles inside,
The National debt is at times an ally,
Leaving the people to fend for them selves,
The poeple collect undeniable data,
About high pulse weapons and microwaves,
The National debt is at times an ally,
Leaving the people to fend for them selves,
Then, the people found out the lie.
All rise, I fall,
Now I rise, and then fall,
Time feels like a midnight ride,
Finality waits outside,
Weeping in perplexity's arms,
Caressing our smiles inside,
Wanting to get you high,
What theres the Sky,
All rise, I fall,
Now I rise, and then fall,
Time feels like a midnight ride,
Finality waits outside,
Weeping in perplexity's arms,
Caressing our smiles inside. [/SIZE][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/LEFT]
