America Has a bigger prison population than Totalitarian China With Over A Billion People

Black people do not commit more crime than whites. The rates of criminality of white and black are about the same. Racist white supremacist fools.

The Chinese have a harsher death penalty rate so they have less criminals

There are like 5 people in Canada.

And 3 of them are from India.

And the reason that America is so great compared to other countries is that even though we have a shit-ton of people in prison, those people in prison are living in more luxury than most of the people on the planet.

Even the worst treated of our citizens are better off than most of the people on the planet, and THAT'S a fact.

We might have problems, but it doesn't mean we're not still the best and that people from all over the world aren't still willing to risk everything they have, including their lives, to come here.

Our problems are fixable, dude - we're working on them.

As much as I bitch about some of the shit that goes on here, I fully recognize and respect that I am lucky as fuck to have been born in a nation that allows me the right to complain about what I think is wrong and which has allowed me to become educated enough to know the difference.

Don't shit yourself, we might not do everything right all the time for every person, but people in America have a better chance of living to their full potential than they do virtually anywhere else in the world.

Em18966, what you wrote is pure nonsense, wake up. Or do some travelling and see the world.

China prefers to put a bullet in someones head shortly after they're convicted.....and then charge the perp's family for the bullet.

It's a money making scheme. Not "justice". We all know that. Private prison contracts.

I have stock in prisons as long as they are housed I make money

The Chinese have a harsher death penalty rate so they have less criminals

This.

And people have not just let it happen, they have demanded it.

They have allowed themselves to believe that it is somehow justice that a person convicted of a non-violent offense spends the rest of their life in prison.


They demand more and more arbitrary legislation, laws to regulate virtually every aspect of our lives, and severe punishments for non-conformity.

Not only that, but they believe that once someone has been ACCUSED of a crime (a crime that could be as petty as talking back to a cop or not cutting ones grass to the appropriate length or refusing to allow a government entity to install a radiation-emitting smart meter in your home) that they are DESERVING of whatever treatment the police decide to mete out.

There is no more innocent until proven guilty.

If you are ACCUSED of a crime, you are suddenly to be treated as a sub-human being. Like a piece of chattel or worse.

Cops, who were NEVER supposed to have the authority to mete out punishment, are killing people in their own homes without even charging them with a crime, they are killing American citizens on the streets for saying the wrong thing in the wrong tone of voice or for legally carrying weapons that the cops deem threatening. They are killing people's pets because they offer citizens protection.

And what's worse, 90% of American's believe that this is just FINE, that it's OK, because these are the police, they wouldn't do anything that wasn't for the public's own good, right?

If you are unlucky enough to be CONVICTED of a felony, you're pretty much fucked. The populous now believes you are a piece of human refuse, no longer deserving of basic, fundamental human rights, even though nowhere in our Constitution does it say that our American rights can be terminated by the ruling of a criminal court judge.

Then, you are thrown into the prison system, where you are at the mercy of corrupt guards and prison financiers, made to work for pennies an hour while the corrupt people at the top turn a tidy profit. And if you refuse, you will be beaten, starved, thrown in solitary confinement or worse.

And if you complain, nobody will believe you or care, because you are nothing but a criminal, deserving of no consideration or human compassion. Certainly, your word will NEVER be believed above that of a corrections officer.

This is their ultimate goal. To have the good little conformists on the outside, and those who refuse to toe the line be used as slaves on the inside of one prison or another.

They call it justice, but it's really nothing more than a modern institution of human slavery. And as the crimes that people are imprisoned for become more petty and as the general populous becomes more ignorant of their rights, the system will only get bigger and less humane.

You are part of the problem.

Happy Fourth of July, Incarceration Nation!

Today many Americans are flipping burgers, knocking back beer, and setting off fireworks to celebrate their country's most trumpeted value: freedom. But a disproportionate part of the population will be denied that privilege, locked up in overcrowded prisons and jails, thousands without the hope of ever attending another cookout.
Many American prisoners are locked up for good reason, but no other nation jails so many people for so long. Among countries with the world's largest prison populations, the United States leads with 2.2 million behind bars. And the countries that immediately trail the global champion of freedom are either much larger or terrible human rights offenders. China comes in second, Russia third.

makes you wonder if its the prison US industrial complex inviting in the "illegals" ...

When I was in a cali jail for for an over exaggerated amount of time with some over exaggerated handling ... I got thrown through the machine to see in the inner mechanics ... I should have been out first thing the next day , instead it was the beginning of a week long with internment , camping out in these severely over-crowded cells with 95% mexican , meaning I was the only white dude most of the time with 49 mexicans approx. I thought I was going to die at certain points... not from mexicans but from the lack of air / suffocation from being so overcrowded.

Needless to say hell almost froze over.

(I was telling them to get out of this chicken factory USA and go enjoy paradise and freedom in Mexico ... I was saying that all they had to do was to collectively agree to be good and paradise was theirs)
