Agreed. If my taxes are paying a private industry to keep dangerous people away from society, they should only imprison violent criminals.
Community service actually helps our nation... why couldn't a crack addict or even white collar criminals just pick up trash for a few years and pay a fine?
Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Winner!
Exactly. Why spend 40-70K per year putting non-violent people away when we can have them do something productive. Since I am a "Civil Defense" kind of person. I would sentence them to continue to work if they have a job and instead of paying to lock them up, they get money sucked out of their check.
What is better, paying an on-going fine for 5 years or loosing your job while you are in jail for 5 years. The savings would be enormous.
For those who are jobless. Send them to the "Transformer Factories" that we set up to make transformers in the event of Grid issues. They get free food and rent while working at the factory for their months or years.

They can work it off transplanting cactus clones along the border.

report by the organization, "The Price of Prisons," states that the cost of incarcerating one inmate in Fiscal 2010 was $31,307 per year. "In states like Connecticut, Washington state, New York, it's anywhere from $50,000 to $60,000," he said. Yes - $60,000 a year.A

BWAHAHAHA..
When have deterrents worked when it is something people want to do??
Terrorist attacks?? Nope
Prohibition?? Nope
The war on drugs?? Nope??
Rape and murder?? Nope and nope..
That is laughable..
We only get two choices..
Incarcerate them or don’t...
Send them back they come right back.
There is NO LAW that doesn’t apply to. It is the only option we ever have for anything.
Al I’m saying is don’t pretend like the there is an option where they stop comming because there isn’t.

You can say ANYTHING damages the economy...
Churches damage the economy since those people don’t work on Sunday..
Speeding damages the economy because there are more auto wrecks..
Smoking pot damages the economy since I most cases it isn’t taxed..
That’s a BS distinction.

Forget the cost.... what right do we have to deny liberty and the pursuit of happiness to anyone if they are not violating the rights of others to liberty and the pursuit of happiness
