7.1 Million Americans Are In The Prisons System So Corporations Can Profit From Your Tax Money!
militarizedpolic

<Snip>

America which is known as the freest country in the world has incarcerated more of it's citizens than the rest of the world combined. 7.1 million Americans are either in prison, on probation or under correctional supervision. The numbers continue to climb each year as more prisons are built nationwide. News journalist Fareed Zakaria from CNN goes in depth to show viewers how much the American government as well as private corporations spend building prisons apposed to schools.

He goes on to say that our elected officials have been bought out by lobbyist. They want the politicians to pave the way for more prisons by passing more laws of enslavement to insure a steady flow of inmates to occupy the cells. America has entered into a hell like period where people are worth more in prison than free and working as all jobs are being shipped to China. America is being
de-industrialized and destroyed by design in the name of clean energy and saving the planet.

Actually the title does not imply that. The title is pretty clear. We have the highest prison population in the known world. We are privatizing prisons so PROFITS can be made, innocent or guilty. The saying goes "you don't put on a condom unless your gonna fuck!" You don't privatize prisons unless you plan on putting people in them. There is no arguing or debating the numbers or statistics.

Yep, nothing more corrupt and disgusting than turning the criminal justice/legal system into a FOR-PROFIT industry/business.

I remember when I was a kid and it was only the real criminals who went to jail. Now, even minor traffic offenders go to jail, get booked in and stay overnight, untill they can post bail or get a court date.

I did 2 months in state jail over traffic violations and misdemeaners. Because I couldnt come up with the 5 grand in fines.

I chose to do community service because I didnt have the money at the time. HOWEVER, it would have taken almost 2 years to pay off the debt working community service.

I was late showing up 1 weekend and my community service went to a bench warrant.

They pass stupid laws for stupid reasons and give maximum length sentences. Yes, they do it on purpose.

How about decriminalizing drugs and let any past offenders out of prison? that would be a good start.
Taking drugs is a health problem, not a police problem. Remove the profit from drugs and you remove the gangs.

Most people in there didn't even do anything unlawful. They got tricked into thinking they broke a law when they only broke a corporation policy( act and statue) and consented/contracted to be put in prison.

Nobody mentioned all the prisoners bonds. These bonds are traded and used as a money making vehicle. It's not the corporations but the govt that is profiting off the prisoners.

So now you understand why DUI is such a money maker for the govt. Most DUI victims get 6 months to 1 year probation. That's short term debt to a govt. and nobody will complain because we can't have drunks on the roads.
I say it is the drunks that are paying for the roads!

This precedent that the U.S. Supreme Court set doesn't help matters either.

<Snip>

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that those arrested for even minor violations may be strip-searched before being admitted to jail, saying safety concerns outweigh personal privacy rights.

A bit extreme but I hear ya'! Have you ever been called for jury duty? 9 out of 10 cases are DUI related.
Look in the newspaper's crime section. Mostly DUI.
It's the frequency of this "crime" that keeps your govt fed. There is nothing that comes close to the number of DUI violations in the police blotter.
That's $500 - $1000 a pop in bail alone.

We get the powers over us that we've earned collectively. Humanity, as a whole, is self-interested, shallow, ignorant, violent and immoral; small wonder, therefore, that our leaders (secret or otherwise) reflect that. You want better leaders, become better people.
