I make no apologies for our nation's high incarceration rate. Anybody dumb enough to end up in prison deserves it. The problem is the $30-60k costs per inmate and the resulting Prison Industrial Complex. Probably around $100 billion/yr. Devil's Island was too expensive for France to maintain. Where do we send them? Start with jailed immigrants. Use 3rd world labor rates to cut down costs. American prisoners can 'volunteer' to work in Siberia, developing places to allow Russia to prepare for war with China. No slave labor here. Some may even choose to stay once their sentences are up. In Russia's case Siberian development can only happen with Chinese labor, a Trojan horse in the making. Trump is a dealmaker, an unconventional(and successful) one. Where am I out of it on this issue?
“I’ve seen first hand how people not up to snuff get in the way of the military mission.”
What? You mean packing our military with criminals and giving them combat training isn’t a great plan?
Historical fact sir.
I am not an unbeliever.
But do have a nice day.
