Welcome to a Capitalist society. More money in prisons than in education and rehab.
Some time ago US lawmakers decided to penalize dimwits rather than fix schools, society. I respect Sweden for that. they realized society/family was breaking down and took steps to avoid collapse. In Us, capitalist pigs that we are, decided there was more profit in caging animals rather than fixing.
People have to get a grip, if they are not going to overthrow this shitbag government here then they must deal with the fact that there are no feelings, emotions, love in boardrooms and halls of congress...just our collective net worth and how much they can screw out of us until we're dead.
A couple broken into a rental house of mine once. Tried to steal some shit but house was empty and they couldn't get the fridge out the door. They left their car and house keys with their name and address on the chain sitting on the washer.
What were the cops going to do?
"Hello, ma'am, while breaking into this gentleman's house you left your keys. Can we send a car over to return them? We would not want you and your crack husband to endure any duress?"
But all in all I am disgusted with the private prison system here. Half the elected and appointed officials should be in there, with the animals...for a few years.
US is in a downward spiral... Laugh at the ride as it goes off its tracks.
