Just sub-contract all prison work to Turkey.Those people know how to run a prison.
I don’t know...private prisons have resulted in humans treated as cattle and innocent people have been thrown in the slammer when the private prisons get so much per head.
Maybe not relevant to overcrowding but it’s time to bring back convict labor/chain gangs. Put them to work improving roads, digging drainages, clearing underbrush etc, instead of sitting in their cells fashioning shanks out of melted toothbrush handles.
Better idea: Pull out the gang bang lifers and send them on a one way diving cruise to the Marianas Trench.
Jail Overcrowding?
Not a problem.
Amendment 13 to the US Constitution.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
This basically says that you can put the convicts into involuntary service (as punishment for a crime) for the duration of their sentence, i.e., auction their services to the highest bidder and save the tax-payer the cost of supporting them, while at the same time giving farms and industry a cheap source of labor.
Deport all the illegal aliens in our jails and prisons and you’ll be amazed at how much space is opened up.
Or we could eliminate about 10,000 laws and stop arresting people for idiotic stuff.
Simple solution:
Hang the violent prisoners, & work the non-violent ones so long & hard that they will never want to be there again when they get out.
