1 outta 99 Americans are in jail, many get to spend ENTIRE LIFETIMES in prison for crimes other countries would not even consider criminal offenses!!
I find it hard to believe that in a so called democracy where everyone is equal, a black man would get 6 or 7 years in prison for DWI but multimillionare paris hilton gets 2 weeks for the same offense! Americans are sent to prison far more than any other nationality on this planet!!! the US is looking more and more like a giant prison camp
every day that goes by i hate the usa more and more there worse than nazi germany i dont think the world would even be in a worse state if they won ww2
this is great........gotta love it...I am a prison consultant...I have 30 years in the US prison system with 22 years served I was the first to beat Wa State's three strikes.
All you have to do to see the real state of the war on drugs in click on the video above you, this should be sent to every american home, wow!! if that doesn't show how fucked up we are nothing will!!!!!!
he forgot the big reason is the corporate own and operated prison who make a whoping profit of almost forty thousand out of the eighty eight thousand overall charged per immate, its listed on the stock exchange and traded as a commondity
Criminal Justice degree here, spent a lot of time studying this stuff. Social deviance theory, and social control theory apply. The USA has been enslaving people since its inception. The poor are expected to commit crime in order to meet middle class standards, while the rich make the laws to prevent the poor from ever being able to achieve equality.
The Police force in this country are basically "gangsters" for people in power, no one was sent to prison for the massive wall st fraud, mafia.
Something must be done. The Prison Industrial Complex is real and it's sick. We also have more children in prison than any other place in the world. Do the research and come to your own understanding on this issue. You will be disgusted. Especially at the high number of people serving life in prison. We must end this way of living.
@mrbountiful What about smoking weed? Is that so bad? There is nothing morally wrong about smoking weed, people that smoke weed see this and they don't give a shit about what some 75 year old law that has been a complete failure. 50% of the prison population in America is WEED SMOKERS.
@fuunguus ... it doesn't matter if one person breaks the law, or the whole god damn population breaks the law. IT IS A LAW! If you want the laws changed do it the right way, get involved and have it over turned. It's like committing murder and saying "oh hell ... 200 million people have been killed in the name of morality and religion ... I only took one life it's Ok." ... You are a sheep, and a follower. Stop being a stoner and a dumb ass the two don't mix very well.
This is because America is the most prohibitive country in the whole world. You can't do this and you can't do that. The greatest country in the world, still. Go figure!
it seems that americans are finally tired of being caged like animals for minor nonviolent "crimes" while the mass murdering lunatics who run the country get away with anything they want.
at what point do we realize that this system which is supposed to "protect" us poses a far greater threat to our safety and well being than some rag tag criminals ever could?!
You must have an extensive criminal record ... You see how lawlessness works over in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq right? If you don't like it here, pick up and get the hell out. Otherwise follow the rules ... all of them not just the ones you pick and choose to follow ... and you'll have safety and security provided for you.
@mrbountiful None of the places you speak of are lawless what so ever. If anything their laws are barbaric and uncivilized. Second, I guess that's we should have done before we rebelled against the king who was trying to run shit here. Pick up and leave like a pack of bitches right? I'm a law abiding citizen, but if you don't see how this is wrong, there is none that can change your way of thinking. Now, you're an idiot. Why? because you have been informed, you are no longer ignorant,
@yourtuber8541 ... You're kidding right. You'd like to compare pot smoking and someones desire to sell illegal drugs to persecution, murder, rape, over taxing. I may be "ignorant" by your standards but you're plain fucking stupid under mine, has got to be those drugs you're selling/taking because God damn ... the last time I saw something this bad was the one time I watched Idiocracy (you should watch it ... your life story on the small screen).
@yourtuber8541 ... continuing ... there is nothing wrong with someone having a consequence for a bad decision. In fact it is the only thing wrong with our country right now. If people would have consequences for their actions we'd be much better off ... and if by the 3 fucking time you haven't learned your lesson ... guess what ... YOU NEVER WILL!!! So yes if you were stupid enough to know the three strike rule and yet still commit those three strikes ... shut the fuck up and enjoy your stay.

It disturbs me that many of our prisons are now private sector. They lobby congress and state legislatures for many of these over the top laws, because prisoner populations translate to money for the corporation. Also, all that prison labor is competing with the American workers. If those jobs had been available on the outside, perhaps some of these people would have been employed and not have been pushed into crime to support themselves and/or their families.
What?! "Reinvented the slave trade" I must say prison is more like lawful indentured servitude then slavery not to mention American prisons are pretty luxurious compared to other countries. Probably why so many who are released just end up going back
@zezt Well you don't need experience to know the difference between slavery and indenture. Same goes for when comparing one countries prison system to another i.e.(American prison vs India prison) Then plenty of statements as to why some prisoners do decide to get reincarnated don't need experience to make a more correct statement or opinion.
@JetFireMoc the truth is man it is TERRIBLE and doesn't only affect those locked up in those fukin hellholes but all the communities included ALL communities. But the ones getting the SWAT teams in the face will suffer it most
Exactly. I'd like to say something funny too but something MUST be done. This isn't an issue for just citizens of the United States, this is an issue that should be important to the world. The actions here are spreading elsewhere and we need international solidarity if we want to stop it.
Someone should probably tell them that working prisoners have the option to enter programs that do labor. Its fine if theyre locked in a room for 20 hours per day but when they actually do something productive all of the sudden this is slavery? Haha
@cmanclan101 When you put a larger percentage of your population behind bars than China you have to think there could be a problem. When you consider that the total number imprisoned in the United States is more than DOUBLE that of China, Russia, and India, I think it raises more questions. I don't think putting your prisoners to work is inherently the problem they were discussing, I think it's the shear volume of people IN prison here and how they got there that concerned them.
i completely agree. and not to be that guy but when you look at some statistics, 99% of prison population live on below average wages, dont graduate from college, and have never had a steady job or family life. the color of their skin isnt as important as the fact that they are uneducated, however the black and latin groups have a huge problem with this. fun fact: there are more 18 year old black men in prison than in school.
@tovanir these are stats about the US. There are not more 17 year old black males in jail than in high school in the United States. Maybe there should be a report on the incidence of misinterpreted statistics in the UK. Remind me of who the moron is, please.
@jamesnih7 I can't get you data on 17 year olds in high school but I can offer you data on 18-24 year old black demographics between education and incarceration. I believe Stephen Fry's claims are exaggerated but not without some eye opening. The total number of 18 to 24 year old black men in college in the US is about 585,000 versus the total number of incarcerated which was about 196,000. That's not nearly on par with his statement, but it's still an incredibly large number.
I wouldnt really call it slavery if the country pays an extraordinary amount to put someone in jail... I mean if money stopped being put into keeping people behind bards and into young children, you'd have smarter kids who excel at something and are therefore less likely to comit crime.
@landialiha its not just his country other countries have followed the so called war on drugs and victimized their own people, its about money and profit banks prisons corporations people just have to wake up!
I always funny that the country involved in some of the worst more atrocities ever. The jailing system is fucked in this country, and I'm not disagreeing but didn't britain JUST jail someone for just having a shitty opinion?
@iiiiiiRYiiiiii British jokes about baseball aside, the jail system really isn't that bad. Sure there's some absurd cases of stealing chocolate chip cookies and such, but if you follow the law nothing will happen to you. I don't see how imprisoning criminals is a bad thing, what are we supposed to do, just let criminals roam the streets because there are "too many" of them?
Why should triple offenders be let out again? They knew the consequences the SECOND time and still did it an were still given another chance. After that you better be straight as an arrow! But of course those idiots go and break another law (for stupid reasons usually). I think anyone who commits 3 crimes doesn't need to be on the streets.
@487shawn And if they have an addiction problem then there are many successful rehab programs for those people that they have most likely been through with failure. An usually not because of the program, as with sufficient commitment any addict can become clean.
Private prison corporations are the ones who are keeping this cycle going. The massive prison population leads to loads of cash, which leads to political influence, which keeps harsh sentencing laws in place, which creates more prisoners. About half of the entire prison population is in there on drug charges.
Prisons are not meant to rehabilitate inmates rather perpetuate the criminal lifestyle until they are free. Then putting them back in their poverty riddled community which led them to criminal behaviors so they could be back in jail to continue the circle.
@cfsharp23 Not entirely. 'High School' is still 'High School' But College is the interim between Secondary School and University :) but IS the equivalent of the highest Grades of High School. However, the learning syllabus is the level of lower year US College (uni)
@FutureXGeneration 'QI' is a show that uses comedy to bring attention to amazing facts. Factual correctness is the whole premise of the show. Its research department is highly regarded and their website has links to varification of all facts presented. If these numbers are news to you perhaps you should ask why this is not common knowledge in the US and why as a US citizen you had to find out through an english game show.
@aldridge1 I mean, if you can pull up the sources that this game show uses to verify it's facts and put them here for everyone to see, I'm more than open minded and glad enough to read it. As far as sources I know are concerned, this show has been known to be faulty in its knowledge of fields or facts on multiple occasions. I'm not convinced.
So this is the only place you have heard these stats? I have heard similar numbers from many sources. So if I will not put links to these studies you will assume they are wrong? Go and look this stuff up yourself. It is common knowledge that the US jails more of its population than any other developed country and even more than china and that its jails are private and for profit. Ask yourself why this is common knowledge outside the US. 'land of the free' ay?
The cognitive dissonance of Americans on this subject is amazing too. And even with a larger portion of the population locked up than anyone else, Americans still live in perpetual terror of criminals.
Everyone makes jokes about Australians all being descending from convicts or whatnot, but we Americans actually are all convicts now. And it's about the only thing we're #1 at anymore.
I think by the "more 17 year olds in gaol than college" he means there are more 17 year olds in prison than there are black males in total (any age etc) at college. That makes it worse.
@SuperGauntlet I love how when this video gets linked on reddit, all the condescending, self-important, 22-year-old redditor cunts come in and make pointless comments like yours.
Well The western world has more Laws where as alot of these other countries with lower prison rates dont have nearly as many laws or enforcement of laws.
funny or not, American prison labor is pretty much same as slavery. You got people in chains, working for nothing under Masters and guards. And there are way more people in prison than there ever were slaves in America. And we can't forget the fact that American prison system is privatized - for profit prisons.
i think i agree with making prisoners work, however, i don't agree with jailing up people for such trivial crimes like minor possession and things like that.
god damn I hate British people. The point they're making is correct and alarming, however they do it in the most annoying, smug and pedantic way possible (ie: British).
@krophiquon Well done sir. You've just made a sweeping statement about an entire nation. Not only is your comment ignorant, it's baseless, as it's a group of comedians. Smug and pedantic is the game they play.
@m33kr0b3r Some of the more ambitious students graduate high school early and go straight to college. I had a 17 year old substitute teacher in high school that had her masters, no joke. Her name was Miss Melody. She was also smokin' hot, and I heard melodies in my head when I saw her. Back to the point, I think they're saying 17 year olds would rather commit crime than become early graduating achievers... And FYI, it's 'males'. Mail comes from the mail man (or mail woman).
@m33kr0b3r You misunderstand by the age of 17 most Europeans are going into college, in fact about half of home schooled American children are also attending college at the age of 17.
@m33kr0b3r fucking retard. Firstly it's MALE not MAIL. Secondly college is year 7- year 12... you're thinking of the American college which is in fact UNIVERSITY.
@m33kr0b3r In the UK you can go to college at 16 so I guess that's why the comparison was made. I guess they probably mean college as the equivalent of the last 2 grades of high school.
1 outta 99 Americans are in jail, many get to spend ENTIRE LIFETIMES in prison for crimes other countries would not even consider criminal offenses!!

@iiiiiiRYiiiiii British jokes about baseball aside, the jail system really isn't that bad. Sure there's some absurd cases of stealing chocolate chip cookies and such, but if you follow the law nothing will happen to you. I don't see how imprisoning criminals is a bad thing, what are we supposed to do, just let criminals roam the streets because there are "too many" of them?

Why should triple offenders be let out again? They knew the consequences the SECOND time and still did it an were still given another chance. After that you better be straight as an arrow! But of course those idiots go and break another law (for stupid reasons usually). I think anyone who commits 3 crimes doesn't need to be on the streets.

Private prison corporations are the ones who are keeping this cycle going. The massive prison population leads to loads of cash, which leads to political influence, which keeps harsh sentencing laws in place, which creates more prisoners. About half of the entire prison population is in there on drug charges.

Prisons are not meant to rehabilitate inmates rather perpetuate the criminal lifestyle until they are free. Then putting them back in their poverty riddled community which led them to criminal behaviors so they could be back in jail to continue the circle.

@FutureXGeneration 'QI' is a show that uses comedy to bring attention to amazing facts. Factual correctness is the whole premise of the show. Its research department is highly regarded and their website has links to varification of all facts presented. If these numbers are news to you perhaps you should ask why this is not common knowledge in the US and why as a US citizen you had to find out through an english game show.
aldridge1 3 months ago
@aldridge1 I mean, if you can pull up the sources that this game show uses to verify it's facts and put them here for everyone to see, I'm more than open minded and glad enough to read it. As far as sources I know are concerned, this show has been known to be faulty in its knowledge of fields or facts on multiple occasions. I'm not convinced.
FutureXGeneration 3 months ago
So this is the only place you have heard these stats? I have heard similar numbers from many sources. So if I will not put links to these studies you will assume they are wrong? Go and look this stuff up yourself. It is common knowledge that the US jails more of its population than any other developed country and even more than china and that its jails are private and for profit. Ask yourself why this is common knowledge outside the US. 'land of the free' ay?

The cognitive dissonance of Americans on this subject is amazing too. And even with a larger portion of the population locked up than anyone else, Americans still live in perpetual terror of criminals.
Everyone makes jokes about Australians all being descending from convicts or whatnot, but we Americans actually are all convicts now. And it's about the only thing we're #1 at anymore.

funny or not, American prison labor is pretty much same as slavery. You got people in chains, working for nothing under Masters and guards. And there are way more people in prison than there ever were slaves in America. And we can't forget the fact that American prison system is privatized - for profit prisons.

@m33kr0b3r Some of the more ambitious students graduate high school early and go straight to college. I had a 17 year old substitute teacher in high school that had her masters, no joke. Her name was Miss Melody. She was also smokin' hot, and I heard melodies in my head when I saw her. Back to the point, I think they're saying 17 year olds would rather commit crime than become early graduating achievers... And FYI, it's 'males'. Mail comes from the mail man (or mail woman).
