Reuters editor calls US prison system “an American Gulag Archipelago.” Ping to Today show list.
I’ll be glad to give our prisoners to any country that’ll take ‘em.
Iraq or Iran, perhaps?
If not, why not Singapore?
I guess I missed the part about why I should care what Chrystia Freeland has to say about anything, or, for that matter, why I should have the slightest idea who she is.
I agree.
Too many people are unfairly and unjustly incarcerated for non-crimes like beating a tranny within an inch of their life.

I have no problem shipping them overseas. Let the Europeans deal with them.
Gee Whiz......I wonder just how these horrible American prisons rate compared to other countries prisons LOL
Gee Chrystia Freeland, our state legislatures have passed laws that forbid certain things. Our Congress has as well. Each time the drug issue is placed before the public, the public votes to continue the rules as they are.
How is that reminiscent of the Gulag Archipelago?
It bothers me a lot when folks use some disgusting practice from the past, in an attempt to legitimize their insanity today, thereby diminishing just what the Gulag and other efforts were in the process.
Here’s one more fine graduate of our education system, that can’t differentiate between ‘the Gulag’ and legitimate Western law enforcement efforts.
I lived in Spain when that nation decided it would reduce crime by legalizing the personal possession and use of marijuana (1982). The result was a crime wave.
From an insider’s viewpoint.......I think the lady ought to have some “first-hand” experience of life in a female prision.......First thing that’ll go is those long locks.....
Prisoners; male, female or anywhere in between, are incarcerated for good reasons. Mostly because their activities, (these days) were criminal or aided/abetted others’ criminal activities. Most are multiple offenders. Most are convicted of crimes involving drugs and/or associate criminal activities like thefts, burgulary, carjacking, robbery, prostitution, extortion, murder and assault. A large percentage are gang members.
And most are dumber than three truck loads of rocks..... Anyone doubting the validity of the detrimental effects of fetal exposure to drugs/alcohol and poor maternal/post-partum nutrition are invited to spend some time with these individuals.....Poor short term memory, ADD, poor fine motor skills, deficient cognitive ability, and lack of judgement.....All “compensated for” by enormous egos expressed in bizzare - yet common - modes of dress, speech and deportment prevail. >PS
