Patch Notes for Society #001: Prisons
The first Patch Notes issue asks what a better prison system would optimize for if the goal were accountability, fewer future victims, credible repair, and a practical migration plan instead of punishment as an endpoint.
The public essays are currently hosted on Medium while the policy memo track continues through evidence review, reviewer feedback, and revision.

Review Focus
The prison track is the proof-of-process package for Patch Notes for Society. The next useful critique is practical: where the incentives are wrong, what victims need that the model misses, which funding or staffing assumption fails first, which legal barriers matter, and what migration plan would actually survive implementation.
Expert track: Review the public prisons policy memo bundle for the memo v0.1, evidence matrix, source anchors, and targeted critique questions.
Submit feedback: Use the public feedback forms for critique, source corrections, and implementation risks.
