There's no solutions to prevent corruption because it's the same thing as putting soldiers in an occupation in a foreign territory - there's too much that's gonna go wrong.

It's not a big secret that what's lacking and what's wrong in our society starts with education.

If you look at it that way, then you start thinking about the basic things, which are jobs not jails, and education not incarceration.
