you can go to prison if you just think you are talking to a adult and she pretends to fantizize that she is a young girl just for fun, but you get a dective instead and suddenly you are assumed to be a pedifile, and get locked up and it ruines your life.

We have 2.5 million prisoners!

More than Russia, China, India...

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 577173



from wiki:

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, as of June 30, 2007, American prisons and jails held 2,299,116 inmates.[10] In recent decades the U.S. has experienced a surge in its prison population, quadrupling since 1980, partially as a result of mandated sentences that came about during the "war on drugs." Violent crime and property crime have declined since the early 1990s.[11]




WAR ON DRUGS + PRIVATE PRISONS = $$$$$$ per Body held there.

PLUS... THEY CAN FARM OUT THERE LABOR TO PRIVATE INDUSTRIES TO BOOT!!

A convicted felons total sentence is financed thrugh prison bonds on wall street. they discount the total cost of the sentence and get paid upfront..the money is then available for further nvestment..hence there is lots of incentive to convict people and keep them in prison....PURE EVIL USA

Because marijuana is extremely EVIL and users must be severely punished if they don't willingly switch to legal alcohol, which is good for you.

But really...
Marijuana is dangerous to the powers because it expands consciousness and reduced fear and fear-based mind control.

There is the answer!!
Well done!!

The food and accomodation is too good and only encourages American criminals to re offend.

Would you want to go to prison in a place like Indonesia where all you get to eat is a bowl of rice and some cockroaches?
With the concrete floor for a bed?

Because Americans get arrested for smoking weed or the possesion of weed or XTC.

They could use these places in prison for the real criminals, the criminals who commit gun related crimes.
These are also very high, for obvious reasons, geeeez... can't smoke a joint, but you can buy a couple of guns legally to smoke someone....figures.

under obama, the number of prisoners is predicted to fall dramatically -
only violent criminals will retain the name 'prisoners' -
the rest will be known as 'choice impaired'

This is the result of 3 decades of tough on crime (overly harsh sentences for dumb crimes, mandatory minimums, no federal parole) rather than SMART on crime. Huge waste of money.
