The United States with 5% of the worlds population has 25% of the worlds prisoners.One out of every 107 Americans is currently in jail or Prison.

We're Number 1!

Merka! Fuck yeah!

This is why we are country of LAW!
Others are simply running wild savages!
Let's dedicate new year to bring civilization to those countries

So nothing to do with private prisons being the most profitable business in the USA?

So in the other countries the criminals are still out on the streets then.

Here are six of the most shocking facts about prison privatization and corporatization, from the report.

1. 65 percent of the private prison contracts ITPI received and analyzed included occupancy guarantees in the form of quotas or required payments for empty prison cells (a “low-crime tax”). These quotas and low-crime taxes put taxpayers on the hook for guaranteeing profits for private prison corporations.
2.Occupancy guarantee clauses in private prison contracts range between 80% and 100%, with 90% as the most frequent occupancy guarantee requirement.
3. Arizona, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Virginia are locked in contracts with the highest occupancy guarantee requirements, with all quotas requiring between 95% and 100% occupancy.
4. Though crime has dropped by a third in the past decade, an occupancy requirement covering three for-profit prisons has forced taxpayers in Colorado to pay an additional $2 million.
5. Three Arizona for-profit prison contracts have a staggering 100% quota, even though a 2012 analysis from Tucson Citizen shows that the company’s per-day charge for each prisoner has increased an average of 13.9% over the life of the contracts.
6. A 20-year deal to privately operate the Lake Erie Correctional Institution in Ohio includes a 90% quota, and has contributed to cutting corners on safety, including overcrowding, areas without secure doors and an increase in crime both inside the prison and in the surrounding community.

Yet most Americans are brainwashed to believe US is the most free country in the planet.

The main problem is private prisons. The prison lobby tells government to have harsh laws even with non violent crimes.

Bottom line, more prisoners = more money.

We put people in jail for stupid reasons such as smoking pot... People should only go to jail if they are a danger. Other punishments need to be invented for lesser crimes like restricted travel wage garnishments, wealth redistribution heavier taxes etc...the more serious your crime the worse your life will be.

We would no longer need to jail non dangerous people this way and it would be much cheaper.

I am certainly glad I don't live in The United States of America.

These statistics will no doubt change as Obama gives his Gestapo authorities direct shoot to kill orders on suspect criminals.

# It happened to a 10 year old child the other day FFS

Another good punishment would be forced community service daily or labor at minimum wage for 8 hours a day.

war is a business
law is a business
jail is a business
violence is business
detroy your mind and body is a business

you wanted true capitalism?

there it is

making money about anything

if they could grind your childen hamburgers and sell them to you to eat they will do it

They hate us for our freedom

China has many many times more prisoner's than america they just dont call em prisoner's due too human rights issues. In china Prisoner's are called students, china is hell on earth. Re-education threw labor according too china is not prison but too the rest of the world they are prisoner's.

That guy should have aimed just a tad lower.

We are all fucking prisoners on this planet!

DAMN RIGHT!!!

Rather than bemoan this fact, look at it the other way.

The US is the only country that can afford to imprison it's criminals. Most of the rest of the world can't. The result? Well, look how absolutely shitty most countries are.

Invest in corporations that run prisons because their stock is about to go up. Imagine out of the 5 million illegals that Obama just infiltrated our country with at least 10% will be going to prison that's 500,000 new customers for the prison system.

Not me! My mind is free and so is my spirit.

Remove blacks and illegal aliens from the calculations and the statistics would show a much different picture. You are allowing the over-weighted statistics of less than 15% of the population skew the representation of the other 85% and then drawing sweeping conclusions based on that distortion. What IS accurate is that the other 85% IS paying the cost, needlessly so.

over 60% glp posters are in prison..i.e., they post form prison
that's why they sound insane and depressed..

meaning more people need to be served up justice in the form of a hot lead burrito than put in a the butt seeks bed and breakfast

That would be a substantial raise from the prison factories they were working in before, actually.

But of course you can't rent an apartment when you make minimum wage, so they'd have to rent rooms in the prison they just got out of.

.
... some who brake laws should be sent back to country of origin ... others should be sent to countries they think are 'better" ...
.
... and NONE of these should EVER be allowed back into the u$ofa!!!! ...
.
... that would take care of repeat offenders ...
.
... and maybe those remaining repeat offenders should no longer be jailed ... but a more PERMANENT action be taken so they don't re-offend!!!!! ... maybe that's why we have so many prisoners ....
.

So why you hangin' around this hell hole? I'd be off exploring the stars.

There is an illusion here that if you pass a law against something everyone will respect it.

Most people find out that jail isn't that bad of an experience and it becomes part of some people's lives.

Reform programs are a joke.

We went from institutionalizing people with emotional problems to forcing them on the street and for the prison system to take up the slack.

Freedom means people can do as they please by bending the rules to fit themselves. So we have whole communities that are just breeding bins for people of no self control. Discipline is no longer treasured. The schools are breeding grounds for violent behavior. Many children are raised without any self discipline.

Land Of The Free.

Law schools produce white collar criminals. The most heinouss violators of human rights aare lawyers turned judges. When the judges immunity is canceled and they are punished for creating a prison state America will be great. The people must demand that judges are punished for creating the humanitarian disaster that we are living.

All the fuss over EBT cards meanwhile private contractors can bribe millions into the prison industrial complex and conservatives never make a peep. And the bs about FEMA camps... We don't need them they are already in use
