The state of prisons is avoidable and due to society not caring enough. Is that a false and ignorant claim? Why? I think you should explain because I think that may claim is patently observable and a matter of fact.

> Smuggling is impossible unless staff turn a blind eye, or procedures are sufficiently lax

Here's an example: these two statements are false.

Trying to present opinions as facts makes you non-credible, you should avoid doing it.
