Newt needs a better inner voice.
So Newt is cavorting around with commie Van Jones now, eh?
Dinesh already has his GED.
Does he get out now?
one out of every 50 people are in jail???
thats pretty bad
I am for decriminalizing non-violent drug laws
You should not go to jail for using drugs you should go to rehab- the money comes from it being illegal
if Pot was legal it would go from being $200 an ounce to $5 an ounce overnight
and it is FAR LESS harmful than alcohol (from a FORMER pot smoker who knows what he is talking about- its been over 20 years)
If you build prisons, or have any of a number of lucrative contracts like food service, laundry, counciling, legal services etc... the goin’s good. On the flip side of the coin, watch any prison tv documentary and you’ll realize they are locked up for a reason.
I’d rather listen to the late Richard Pryor on this.
“THANK GOD WE GOT PENITENTIARIES.”
Van Jones! The commie lovin Van Jones!?
What the hell is Newt doing paling around with that worthless waste of oxygen? Regardless of the merits, or lack thereof, of the articles premise, it loses credibility with Van Jones associated with it.
And no, I didn’t read it. I stopped when I read Van Jones.
He should sit on a park bench with the marxist and make another commercial. Then he and his wife can do a cartoon book about prisons.
How about simply turning prisons into productive places where prisoners earn their keep, instead of burdening the public with the costs? That should be first priority. After that, let them earn their degrees. These would all serve valid purposes for incarceration including rehab for some almost certainly.
There is nothing Newt won’t do for another shot at running for president. He needs an overture to the LGBT community. Maybe a sex change or a gay marriage.
why does Van Jones have any credibility on any subject whatsoever????.....except perhaps marxism.
Political amalgamation has officially broken both of it’s kneecaps on a very dark road.
Its mostly over drug laws Newt helped enact
And fatherless families
Looked up a young guy who worked for me many years ago. 7 years ago, he was making $80,000+ as a state prison system GED school principal. Not bad at all...
Quick! Pass some more laws!
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.” ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 1957
This revolting article is the answer to a question none of us want to ask: How do we know when it’s REALLY over? When Newt and Van collaborate of fecal matter like this......
Newt, you sat on that couch with Pelosi, and now you are collaborating with this commie race hustler. Pathetic!

America's prison problem doesn't stem from a failure of correctional theory. It stems from a ubiquitous immorality and its subsequent venality that sends people to prison in the first place.
Van Jones is an admitted Communist. His worldview has brought about the incarceration or death of at least a million of his own people. Like Obama, he is satanically focused on power and revenge. Neither understands sin.
Ya know somethin’ there Newt, ol’ buddy, ol’ quitter, you’re right.
The prison system is failing. They are not dying off fast enough!
