Nor are their prisons the country clubs that many of ours are. No weight rooms, they do hard physical labor. No cable TV, no sitting around playing cards or computer games. No anything. At least half of our prisoners are there for some drug related crime and many are returnees who go in and out of prison so much that they cannot function outside of it and don't want to learn how. |

I recall a recent story about 2 judges busted taking thousands of dollars in kickbacks to fill the juvenile detention centers. [link to www.msnbc.msn.com] How many are out there that have not been caught sending adults to real prison for profit?? Why do we have the Highest Incarceration Rate in the World??

There are so many rediculous laws on the books it's mind boggling. |
