“If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.”
I don’t think America is over policed. I don’t think we over incarcerate. And I think we have lots of safeguards to keep things fair.
Watch any documentary on America’s prisons, and the only conclusion one can draw is that most if not all deserve to be there.
Too timid to take a position on your own thread until you see what others write? :)
Ya know what?? We gotta be more like W Europe.
Rampant child sex trafficking in the open.
And hey, what’s a head rolling here or a head rolling there?
And complete neighborhoods that are no go zones.
America is a brutal regime that incarcerates WAY too many innocent yoots!!
BUT Ya know, even though it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to stay out of prison in the US, me and NINETEEN of my best friends growing up managed to do it!
Ain’t that a ####ing miracle!
Italians no less!
Well, 2 of us were of Irish descent. :)
IS it that you’re sad that ex cons can’t buy guns and such?
That’s an issue for another day.
But hey, if you’re all for murderers and rapists getting their hands on a piece right after getting out of prison, then lets hope they all move near you and not near me, seeing as your obviously concerned about gun sales among the disenfranchised :)

The rest of the world doesn't tolerate either Rights or Belief.
I think a lot of blame can go to AWOL fathers, broken families, a disregard of education and personal responsibility. You end up with young men who’ve never had a loving but firm hand on their shoulder keeping them on a good path.
The fact is: People go to prison because they are criminals.
Not because they are black, or brown, or any other reason.
The real crime is the money used to keep the ultra-violent lifers alive.
No a lot of America’s citizens are just damn right criminals in one way or the other.
We are not called the Land of Opportunity for nothing!
Nor does it include all of the Americans who have been arrested at one time or another, which is over 70 million
That seems dubious.
Do the various welfare bureaucracies desire more or less people to be on welfare?
Does the prison industry want more or less people in prison?
Is a high recidivism rate or a low recidivism rate better for our incarceration systems, as far as expansion and growth, job opportunities, budgets and profits?

The easiest predictor of criminal activity is whether someone has already been through the “Justice system.” Our recidivism rate is staggering, as is the number of violent criminals allowed to roam our streets. The sad fact is that a frightening percentage of our people are violent sociopaths. We don’t have nearly enough people in prison.
