    Statistily speaking… Americans must be the most dishonest people of any country … Since it has the highest number of prison inmates per capita…

    Unless of course most aren’t actually there for … Crimes

      No, they’re there for crimes. the issue is that the crimes are often fucking stupid and these people don’t deserve to be in the prison system for them. Doing drugs should not land you in prison. Period. It shouldn’t even be illegal to do drugs. People who have an addiction problem should be receiving treatment. Not punishment. But we have a prison slave population we need to maintain in order to keep the owners of private prisons’ wallets fat.
