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

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

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.

Oh I completely understand that side of the story, it's just a dumb title and doesn't get the point across nor does it get peoples attention.

Many other countries lock up more people, but for shorter periods of time.

It's easy to get three to five in the land of the free for a relatively minor offence.

No need for prisons. They just shoot offenders on sight.

America really does have a lot of prisoners but I wouldn't want to be on the other end of that list either. Iceland ok, Afghanistan not so much.

If we empty the prisons, where will we get our supply of slave labor? C'mon, this isn't China for Christ's sake! We're not going to use political dissidents. We're civilized! We use people who insist on using non-socially accepted drugs, as God intended!

Well I think we have come pretty far considering we are living in a country established by a bunch of prudes.
