Good for them. However, there are things that help the victims, and there are things that don't. This one doesn't, and it's probably done for their own image of themselves, to seem like they're doing something. This response is meek, at best, and egoistic, at worst. That's my opinion.

If they truly wanted to help, they would advocate and lobby for abolishment of private prisons and war on drugs, as well as demilitarization of police.
