The importance of this subject should not go unnoticed.
Yes, the moment prisons become a commercially profitable venture verses a burden to society is the moment corporations find it profitable to literally imprison populations...expect totalitarianism a half-step afterwards.

If this doesn't get front page, I have no faith in the ATS community.

How many people know people that commit a crime, but maybe just turn a blind or don't want to know anything about it. I have never met a family in my life that didn't have a brother, or relative that was "into trouble" even if they did not go to jail over it.

A widespread campaign to populate jails is certain to affect every family in the country one way or the other. And it is a systematic way to legalize forced labor whether or not it takes time to come to be.

There are only a few real laws, don't hurt another person, don't steal from them. The rest are made up garbage. Garbage that is going to create a massive industry.

Those stats about your prisons are terrible!!!

The same is happening in the uk, Touch the weed and go to prison. Steal an old ladys house and expect promotion.

Sadly in America it comes down to how much justice can you AFFORD. The poor get public defenders and well, you get what you pay for. They figure it keeps the poor off the streets and keeps them from rallying together in the parks. As a bonus once you convict them they loose the right to vote and thus loose the ability to change things. Just like cows in the corals at the slaughter house all rounded up and numbered for easy processing. I have heard that one in three American youths have been in the system by the age of 23. Wow American kids must be the most dangerous children in the world.

I lost my only child to the system with no hope of freeing him. Maybe next time around he will choose parents with more money.

Might as well just put up a fence around the US and call it done. It's going that way anyways.

My suggestion to all free people in the US...Get out now. Run far and run fast because when the gates close it'll be too late.

Peace

If this goes ahead, then the U.S. of A. justifiably earns a 'Most Treacherous Government On The Planet' award It's only interest in American citizens is to take their money and take their liberties.


The thing is, how do you go about booting out a powerful and corrupt government? No point trying to vote them out because a corrupt government will make sure you don't.

Thank you for shining some light on the subject..When TSHTF..Who do you want on your team? Im a leave it at that..Powers that be BEWARE!! We are pissed off. You think that money will protect you?? HA I'm coming for yall, and I have an army with me....

The whole justice system is a joke, and for profit. They speak their own convoluted languages, so as to force you to hire a liar. The judges are all ex liars, sitting on the bench after proving themselves really good liars. The judges keep the sham going for future liars.

There should be few laws, in language even a fifth grader understands, get rid of all the ritual crap, and secret languages. A person should not have to pay 4 grand to a liar to fight a bogus speeding ticket....

Ever had to defend yourself against bogus charges in criminal court? The money liars make for defending you should be a crime!

While I agreee with what you are saying and it is true, I was looking around for some info to see about this.

According to the Left Business Observer, the federal prison industry produces 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet-proof vests, ID tags, shirts, pants, tents, bags, and canteens. Along with war supplies, prison workers supply 98% of the entire market for equipment assembly services;

I cannot seem to find any info backing these numbers up.

... and they will only lie for you if ya got plenty 'o' money ... or you can go and rot whether you're innocent or not.

They won't utter a syllable in your defence unless you cough up thousands. Shallow bastards.

I saw this coming for a long time and I don't see it going away, only getting worse. It's your own oppressive laws and "get tough" policies that are feeding this monster. What you don't realize is that the myriad of laws and rules and regulations are what is creating the violence and unrest in your towns and cities, then you answer this by creating more laws, tougher enforcement, and more oppression. You've done it to yourselves and vote for more of the same.

I am too old to continue fighting for liberty and freedom from this oppression as I have attempted to do with reason and logic all throughout my youth and middle years but you've developed your "sound reason" about why you need tougher laws to an art form and I hope you enjoy the portrait you've painted. A few years ago I gave up trying to fight this from ground zero and have left the US. Many might wish to tell me "good riddance" and I assure you the feeling is quite mutual. I enjoy the liberties I have now. I still have my loyalties to my country of birth (the US) but our ideologies have grown so far apart we just can't live together anymore. I am sure many of you consider it a paradise. Please, continue to enjoy it without me. I do hope America can become again the Land of the Free. I am counting on the Home of the Brave to stand up against the oppression and learn the key is to appreciate your differences instead of demanding compliance and conformity.

Bump.

Funny isn't it? Emotionally charged video about africa goes viral, feeding frenzy. Something like this is going on at home, everyone turns a blind eye. Y'all want the world to be a happy place, we all need to start banding together as people and communities and put our collective foot down! Start at home, if everyone did something to make the community they live in a better place, voila, better world. Easier to ignore I guess

Strongly agreed, I've been watching the growing Issue since the turn of the Millennium. Another area that is in a downward spiral.
