...The price for each inmate has doubled since 2005, even as court orders related to overcrowding have reduced the population by about one-quarter. Salaries and benefits for prison guards and medical providers drove much of the increase.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
People who perpetrate violent crimes create jobs for lawyers, social workers, prison guards, judges, clerks, LEOs -- all of whom buy a lot of goods/services and pay a lot of taxes.
What sort of constituency do crime victims have by comparison?
It's just a lot easier -- and more profitable -- for law-abiding citizens to be passive victims. Cops lay out crime scene tape, court-appointed attorneys are assigned, case workers offer the victims' families grief counseling -- everybody's happy.
Why mess all of that up? Besides, perpetrators of violent crime are ultimately victims of society. To burn one down in the process of robbing, raping or murdering a citizen only perpetuates the injustice!
Buddy, you speak TRUTH.
It’s the Justice INDUSTRY. Not the Justice System.
They have been criminalizing normal people now at an incredible rate.
Cheaper to just send them all to Harvard. Problem solved.
Save money. Send them all to Bezerkeley. They’d fit right in.
Yeah, but none of those inmates would be able to make it at Harvard.
And once someone falls into the system, it is nearly impossible to get out. Can’t get a job with a criminal record. Prior offenses increase the sentences for subsequent ones.
Offenders are big money in the court system.
Learn more useful life skills in one of them.
Take the ones with gang tattoos to the mountains and dump them down an abandoned mine shaft.
Trump needs to make a deal with N Korea to take our felons, and use as cheap labor.
Foreigners in our jails need to be housed in their own country’s jails. As incentive, we can offer them about 10K per year to incarcerate and save 65k each.
Ah....so rapists and robbers...and killer's are all victims.
Got ya!
The state prison guards are well paid in CA. $4k-$6k per month.
If you worked for the prison industry, would you want the recidivism rate to be high or low? If I recall, California has one of the highest recidivism rates. I think they have a vested interest in creating an animalistic culture in prisons so everyone gets brutalized and brings it with them when they are released into society. It helps to ensure repeat clients and even new customers if the behavior spreads to others on the outside.
Freegards
“...o rapists and robbers...and killer’s are all victims.”
We are supposed to respond to violent crime by wringing our hands at what society must have done to make the perpetrator do something so desperate. The government can then search for “root causes” and find “positive alternatives” to committing violent crime.
Creates a lot of jobs for social workers and lawyers. Shooting the perpetrator messes all of that up.
The prisoners are “learning” how to be honest citizens, so, count the expense as “student loans” and have them pay back the money when their term (sentence) ends...just like those college kids.
that’s $208 PER DAY per inmate- Many seniors and disabled and veterans get only about $25 or so per day to live on
Illegals are costing this country between $400 BILLION DOLLARS and $600 BILLION DOLLARS per year (and this figure is from about a decade ago)- many illegals being in prison- we’re spending nearly a $ 1/2 trillion dollars per year on them but by golly we can’t find any money for our nation’s most needy legal citizens
Build the wall! At just $25 billion it will be a Massive bargain and we’ll save Between $400 BILLION DOLLARS and $600 BILLION DOLLARS per year that we can then invest and make this country great again!
And in either case, they learn nothing productive.
Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants
http://www.usillegalaliens.com/impacts_of_illegal_immigration_crime_summary.html
In recent Testimony of District Attorney John M. Morganelli before the House Subcommittee on immigration, Border, Security and Claims he stated:
“Unfortunately, the majority of illegal aliens who are here are engaged in criminal activity. Identity theft, use of fraudulent social security numbers and green cards, tax evasion, driving without licenses represent some of the crimes that are engaged in by the majority of illegal aliens on a daily basis merely to maintain and hide their illegal status.
In addition, violent crime and drug distribution and possession is also prevalent among illegal aliens. Over 25% of today’s federal prison population are illegal aliens. In some areas of the country, 12% of felonies, 25% of burglaries and 34% of thefts are committed by illegal aliens.”
•In Los Angeles, 95% of some 1,500 outstanding warrants for homicides are for illegal aliens. About 67% of the 17,000 outstanding fugitive felony warrants are for illegal aliens.
•There are currently over 400,000 unaccounted for illegal alien criminals with outstanding deportation orders. At least one fourth of these are hard core criminals.
•80,000 to 100,000 illegal aliens who have been convicted of serious crimes are walking the streets. Based on studies they will commit an average of 13 serious crimes per perpetrator.
•Illegal aliens are involved in criminal activities at a rate that is 2-5 times their representative proportion of the population.
•In 1980, our Federal and state facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens but at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in U.S. correctional facilities at a cost of about $6.8 billion per year.
•At least 4.5 million pounds of cocaine with a street value of at least $72 billion is smuggled across the southern border every year. ..
•56% of illegal aliens charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted on at least 5 prior occasions.
•Illegal aliens charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. 90% had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, 50% had been arrested for violent or drug-related felonies.
•Illegal aliens commit between 700,000 to 1,289,000 or more crimes per year.
•Illegal aliens commit at least 2,158 murders each year – a number that represents three times greater participation than their proportion of the population.
•Illegal alien sexual predators commit an estimated 130,909 sexual crimes each year.
•There may be as many as 240,000 illegal alien sex offenders circulating throughout America. Based on studies, they will commit an average of 8 sex crimes per perpetrator before being caught.
•Nearly 63% of illegal alien sex offenders had been deported on another offense prior to committing the sex crime.
•Only 2% of the illegal alien sex offenders in one study had no history of criminal behavior, beyond crossing the border illegally.
•In Operation Predator, ICE arrested and deported 6,085 illegal alien pedophiles. Some studies suggest each pedophile molests average of 148 children. If so, that could be as many as 900,580 victims.
•Nobody knows how big the Sex Slave problem is but it is enormous.
•The very brutal MS-13 gang has over 15,000 members and associates in at least 115 different cliques in 33 states.
•The overall financial impact of illegal alien crimes is estimated at between $14.4 and $81 billion or more per year. Factor in the crime as a result of the cocaine and other drugs being smuggled in and the number may reach $150 billion per year.
Where does Rubio come off berating Trump for citing FACTS?
[[Congressman Steve King (R-IA) estimates that illegal alien drunk drivers kill 13 Americans every day — that’s a death toll of 4,745 per year.[4]
The 23 percent criminal traffic offenders figure is only part of the overall picture. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, another 23 percent, more than 43,000 illegal aliens, were convicted of drug offenses. The violent crime category of assault, robbery, sexual assault, and family offenses comes to 12 percent. The non-violent crime grouping of larceny, fraud, and burglary totaled seven percent, and on the list goes — equaling 100 percent of illegal aliens who have been through the criminal justice system and inflicted thousands to millions in cost per alien on the system, for issues having nothing to do with their illegal entry into the country]]
