yup. send a drug addict to jail, now that drug addict has it on his record, so he cant get a job when he comes out. so some guy in jail teaches him how to steal cars, sell drugs, launder money etc.
the problem just gets worse and worse, jail is almost like a training camp for criminals

and we've built so many fucking prisons in the last two decades to house non violent drug offenders, it costs just as much (if not insanely more) to run a prison then it does a community college, highschool etc.
we are litterally uninvesting in a positive future for our kids, and heavily investing in breeding better criminals

90% of the prison guards should be charged with accessory to rape

U.S. houses more inmates than the top 35 European countries combined. Somethings needs to change.

That's the goal...
This guarantees more prisoners profit for the prison industrial complex. Sick fucks, anything for the all mighty dollar.

Greed, the root of all evil. People don't do shit for themselves and/or other people, they do things for MONEY. Doctors, lawyers, politicians, policemen, musicians, ect. It fucks everything up. Most don't have the right intentions.

It's so fucked that we actually have a semi-privatized, profit-based prison system. There are no incentives to reduce recidivism, and the public doesn't care because they're "bad guys" and deserve whatever they get. The strongest union in California is not the teachers' union or the Teamsters or anything like that: It's the prison guard union. They lobby for more and more "tough on crime" laws that will ensure more and more people get locked up each year. A lot of countries condemn us for continuing to have the death penalty, but if you ask me, the death penalty is fairly minor compared to the condition of our prisons. I am certain history will not be kind to us about it.
I'll let these guys have the last word:

More laws (less freedoms) that are being passed is leading up to socialism. Within 20 years you will see the military walking down the street.

It's kind of a sick joke to say it's "leading up to socialism" when China currently has a lower incarceration rate than us.
