the prison system in the united states is completely fucked. if you do not agree you are an idiot and should do some research.

Empty the Prisons? Then what? Fill them up again? What a terrible title.

Maybe just empty the non-violent offenders? the victim-less crimes? the drug addicts? the mentally disturbed?
the hundreds of thousands of people that were thrown in jail cuz they got caught with a few grams of weed?
the numbers get even more ridiculous when you take into account there is a huge prison economy that has grown in order to house, feed, etc all the prisoners. and whos paying for it? you and i.
Each inmate costs US taxpayers more than $22,000 a year.
It costs more than i make in a year to house a dude who is living in a cement cell.
