My son at age 15, standing 6'2 and had failed the 8th grade, has been wrongfully convicted of a capital murder. His well documented history along with substancial evidence, is Bryce's proof that he is NOT GUILTY and NOT CULPABLE for the tragic postion he is in. Prosecutorial Misconduct and more are facts. Yet in 09-2012 my son will trun 18 and be moved into the Notorious Prison Unit, Cell, System. :... ( He's my heart.
We are all fucked i got arrested for Jay Walking two weeks ago..so yeah they will get your ass for anything and my friend got aressted for spitting out Sun Flowers seed on the ground "LITTERING"...its all bullshit.
The main reason why the police teaches Sunday school classes coach Little League ball teams become Boy Scout leaders. Because children will say anything that goes on in their homes. And a policeman knows how asked questions to get information that the children would not normally give. I do not have anything to hide I don't have small children now but if I had a child they would not be coached or taught by a policeman. Police are armed and retarded and the common enemy of the people.
I know how it is be innocent & beaten by police wife & I was driving thoughg Joliet Il A Joliet police Sgt. & son tried to rob me. My gun was bigger than his gun he ran like a coward I started my motorhome to get away from those criminals he called other criminals a.k.a. police 68 69 yo they beat her worst than I we had one speeding ticket in our life you cant tell story in 400 ca. it cost me $8000 in three days in jail if I didnt have money it would probably cost me 8 years I hate police
FACT: USA has 5% of world population but 25% of world's incarcerated ppl. Based on the number of citizens waking up behind bars, then USA is by far the LEAST free society on earth.
Everyone know usa its a dictactorship country check this out they put people away in private prisons for not paying traffic ticket they put away people if they find you a bit of marijuana even if you consuming the drug fuck this man all this rich people making money they even make falses accusation to people just to put them in prisons wow this shit fuck up

No wonder why Harper is increasing sentences and such aswell in Canada, and I'm almost thinking same thing probably happened.We're following right behind you America.
in a country where voters get outraged over affairs, and politicians doing outrageous things .. wellll they don't get outraged about the kind of system that has always been here, and is now being fortified, and applied to all Americans instead of just the minorities.
As we know, there are a lot of parasites and free riders in America compared to the other developed countries. However, America is still the only super power. So I highly respect American tax payers.

Oh yeah, this is not only happening in the US, its also happening in Canada, Jamaica, S. Africa and UK and some European countries as well so, don't think your out of the blue just because you don't live in the US.

It should also be mentioned that good CO's are replaced with workers at just above minimum wage. Another reason that Teapublicans love these, easy money and no union protections.
maybe 16% overall is the actual increase and the 120% increase in private prisons is because the regular prisons are simply full and they gotta put them prisoners somewhere. right right?? im sure thats it. i mean corrupt politics in the usa? come on!
- If everybody wrote a simple note, that said "Either do what's right for me & my family instead of the corporate lobbyists or I won't vote for you next time"!.... & either posted it or emailed it to their politician....Then they'd soon shit-their-pants, cos they know that they'll be out of a job once their term is up (unless they change their ways & act in your interests instead of the big corporations)!
Yeah,this is shocking stuff. Private prisons are unconstitutional! This is what happends when currency is handed over to private banks, justice is handed over to private businesses........and the politicians start wars, and arrest people for money.
this is truly sickening, these prisons are soaking up the unemployed , it is nice to see that the almost mainstream is waking up to the fact that americans are living in a fascist country and the people have no say at all...might be a bit too late but it's time to start a revolution.
How the hell does a private prison even come into existance? It's pretty obvious to me it would be all about the profit since it's private... so how do they let this happen? USA, get your shit together. It's never going to change unless the people start rioting for change like in the middle east. You think you're free? Don't make me laugh.

@Halllibut I hear ya! The good ole "Rednecks" keep telling me to go back to "Africa", but they Refuse to get me a plane ticket! ROTFL! I'll take 1st class, with the free Entree' & Peanuts & Movies too! :P
I guess those Luxury Cruise Ships they brought the Africans to America on are all Old Rusted now, or i could have rode on one of them! HaaHaa! My Bad for the humor!
It already is. Ever heard of alimony or child support? A guy just set himself on fire outside a courthouse a few weeks ago because he was going to jail for something he couldn't pay.
Very well. Just remember that when they make it illegal to be in debt, and you can't pay it, and they say 'you should have thought about that before you took the loan'.
@benhmn I'll never be in debt. You don't get it. I look at a crowd of people, put my arm around my son and tell him, "See all those people not in the luxury boxes, son? They all owe me money."
@HomleandSecurity It's coming, get out of debt now or become a slave in a box later. Remember you may have voted for one of the guy's causing this to happen. Of course I probably did as well. Make this a point of research before you vote again.
@HomleandSecurity When that happens the number of cops getting shot will go sky high. When the cops come to get you after you just got an eviction notice and your wife just lost her job and you've got $100 left in the bank, yeah it's time to make a stand. I guess that will open the door for companies like Xe aka Blackwater to operate in America for the private prison systems to get these debtors in prison. Time to buy more ammo.
wtf. this is ridiculous BUT... I do understand it though. If I was that prison company I'd do the exact same thing. sure its immoral but if the American people didn't want it. it wouldn't happen.
Once again, I don't agree with this at all BUT I see where they are coming from. they are just giving america what the people want. I mean if the american people wanted weed legalized.. it would have been.. right?
@blakkelure, as soon as my wife is done with school we are moving to Canada... but it's tricky, we should be fine on points but we still have to find jobs there first and I heard that in Canada they will always hire Canadians first. I also heard that if your from the U.S. some people will treat you badly. We are going to give it our best shot. We have to get out of the U.S.
If incarceration is supposed to be a way to repay a debt to society for some wrong doing, then we cannot have private prisons. Period. Because the goal should be to rehabilitate these individuals and make them productive members of this nation as quickly as possible. Prisons trying to make a profit have no incentive to get these individuals out of the system expeditiously and even less incentive to reform them.
So how does a private prison profit? Does the government pay them per inmate? That doesn't sound cost effective, especially nowadays.
That said, I consider the prison system part of the law enforcement system and private industry has no business being involved. Remember, private business is not accountable to anyone; this is not what you want law enforcement to become. People have enough complaints about current enforcement, making it private will make it far worse.
Lets not forget that they're not just making money off of locking people up. They make a huge amount by putting prisoners to work manufacturing things like paint and munitions, and those who refuse to participate in this slavery are thrown in solitary confinement.
Time to make some heads roll in Washington: They've been doing this sort of thing for years and years and nobody stands up to them. We need to start putting the Lobbyist in Prison along with their buddies in Congress. Stop the Virus and it's costing this Country a Maximum penalty for being an American. Politicians get your bags packed boys and girls, You're going to PRISON SOON!
this sound dumb but who actually pays the private prisons? or does the goverment do it and still pay less for someone else to do the prisons that run them themselves?
@Munnchbunnch not just the states,privert prosons started in the uk,ere we lock up more people than anywhere else in the world.....were not a large country but if we was the size of the U.S we would have to double the amount of jails to fit everyone in......
The judicial system in my town was basically privatized and turned over to a company called Wackenhut about 5 years ago. As a result of that disastrous decision by our corrupt politicians, if you so much as get a traffic ticket today and are 1 DAY late on paying it off, they will issue an arrest warrant for you and throw you in jail like a common criminal. In the past, the city would at least work with you to resolve petty issues like traffic tickets. Those days are long gone. Thanks Wackenhut.
Thanks to decades of deregulation, outsourcing of Govt services, trillion dollar tax cuts and BLATANT CRONYISM, this is what's left of our "democracy" my friends. Brace yourselves, because it's only going to get worse. Next up is Medicare and Social Security. The Republicans will eventually con their way back into power and privatize those programs for Wall Street. You'll see. Corporations and Wall Street are calling the shots now.
Powerful and continuing nationalism Disdain for human rights. Supremacy of the military. Obsession with national security, crime and punishment. Controlled mass media. Religion and goverment intertwined. Corporate power is protected. Labur power is suppressed. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts. USA is a fascist state. We need a revolution!
I disagree with Cenk. One of his recent stories suggested that tax-cutting politicians would fire police to fund tax cuts for the rich. WIth fewer police, fewer people will get caught and sent to jail.
uumm .... I hate to sound Naiive but the people that were put into prison were probably criminals. The fact that there is so many people in private prisons doesn't affect the amount of people in prison in general. If these people weren't private prison then they would be in other prisons and the overall figure would still be 16%. I agree with what TYT are saying, i'm just pointing out that that fact was incorrect.
Of course, that's the point. How do you think they fill prisons most effectively? By criminalizing more and more stuff so that eventually, you'll be a criminal no matter what you do. They put you in prison for downloading movies, smoking pot in your own house, videotaping a police officer, etc. Do you honestly think people who do these things are criminals on some moral level, did they really harm anyone? They are criminals only because the government criminalized what they do.
Not only are they making things illegal which shouldn't be and putting people in jail who don't deserve to be, in the end they are also creating more real crime because putting people in jail for petty crimes often turns them into more hardened criminals.
Many in the US Government would happily enslave millions of the citizens it is supposed to serve to make a tidy profit for faceless corporations and to advance their own careers.
They would happily vote to commit genocide (I don't use that term lightly, firing depleted uranium into villages and that...) in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, while selling weapons to dictatorships who kill millions more.
BUT 9/11 DEFFO CUDNT HAV BEEN A CONSPIRASSY DA GUVMUNT WUD NEVA GO SO FAR LOLOLOL STUPID
Sometimes prisons are built with expectation of running the "business" and then there is no one getting put in them so it goes vacant. Quite surprising really since we imprison everyone
we need to set up a benevolent dictatorship as in Ancient Greece when Solon got everything sorted over 10 years, but had to leave at the end for 10 years so he could not profit from any changes. They also elected straight from the voting public. Clever them greeks.
@baalisgod666 Solon was an expression of the will of the people.. in a sense a first moment of the democracy that followed.. it was enabling the infrastructure for what people had begun to demand.
In Greece before, every piece of land had a sign post with a list of names... of who owed whom.. a kind of property insanity.
Solon collectivised it all, no Greek could be a slave.
In a sense that is like socialism, except its' making machines all our slaves, as humanity becomes inclusive & democratic.
we need to set up a benevolent dictatorship as in Ancient Greece when Solon got everything sorted over 10 years, but had to leave at the end for 10 years so he could not profit from any changes. They also elected straight from the voting public. Clever them greeks.
@Daisy4Loka Also we need to shorten election campaigns. Campaigning became a business and you need billions to win now on the state and federal level. In Europe and Canada, elections last a couple months at max. In America it is almost a year and a half of bullshit that the media, corporations, and politicians exploit as some sort of never ending reality TV show.
@Daisy4Loka but then your tax dollars would have to be used to fund campaigns....then the question comes how much should each get?.......it would be a nightmare
Unanswered question. Which is most cost effective? Private prisons don't put people in jail. BUT.. if someone is sentenced, it is to the benefit of the state to do it as cheaply as possible. Here in California, one of the biggest lobbying groups is the prison guard unions in public prisons. Small rural towns beg to get a prison built. Why? Because the guards are recruited locally, you don't need college diplomas... and they bring in huge amounts of money.
@goodtimebob I think the argument was exactly that private prisons DO put people in jail (by bribing politicians/judges). Now if the same happens on a state level, that's even more wrong
@CardPlay3r Judges don't decide the jail. Just the sentence. Government is so efficient that a private company can probably incarcerate an inmate under the same or better conditions than a government jail and still make a profit. Its costs more to put someone in a federal prison than a university. They spend more supporting inmates than soldiers. IF we can't ship the criminal wetbacks home, lets at least give them a jail comparable to what they would get at home.
@goodtimebob The point was not which type of jail costs the state less per inmate, but that people are thrown in jail for minor offenses so these companies could make a profit. If you agree with that well...good for you I guess If you don't think that's the case, you have to wonder though, why does America have so many people in prison compared to other countries? It's actually the highest rate of incarceration in the world, 743 / 100,000 people
Dear White People, We have tried to tell you for years that your government is corrupt and is designed to keep people oppressed, communtiies destroyed & to violate the precious rights you people believe you're blessed with.
Ah well, Maybe you all will listen in the next life.
yeah remove the political part from your sentence cenk. how many strories do you need to hear? how many one choice elections do you need? or hell, how many flat out rigged elections are you gonna need to finally say its all broke and let hell loose.

When the cops come to get you after you just got an eviction notice and your wife just lost her job and you've got $100 left in the bank, yeah it's time to make a stand. I guess that will open the door for companies like Xe aka Blackwater to operate in America for the private prison systems to get these debtors in prison. Time to buy more ammo.

If incarceration is supposed to be a way to repay a debt to society for some wrong doing, then we cannot have private prisons. Period. Because the goal should be to rehabilitate these individuals and make them productive members of this nation as quickly as possible. Prisons trying to make a profit have no incentive to get these individuals out of the system expeditiously and even less incentive to reform them.
AwkworldStudios 8 months ago
So how does a private prison profit? Does the government pay them per inmate? That doesn't sound cost effective, especially nowadays.
That said, I consider the prison system part of the law enforcement system and private industry has no business being involved. Remember, private business is not accountable to anyone; this is not what you want law enforcement to become. People have enough complaints about current enforcement, making it private will make it far worse.

The judicial system in my town was basically privatized and turned over to a company called Wackenhut about 5 years ago. As a result of that disastrous decision by our corrupt politicians, if you so much as get a traffic ticket today and are 1 DAY late on paying it off, they will issue an arrest warrant for you and throw you in jail like a common criminal. In the past, the city would at least work with you to resolve petty issues like traffic tickets. Those days are long gone. Thanks Wackenhut.

uumm .... I hate to sound Naiive but the people that were put into prison were probably criminals. The fact that there is so many people in private prisons doesn't affect the amount of people in prison in general. If these people weren't private prison then they would be in other prisons and the overall figure would still be 16%. I agree with what TYT are saying, i'm just pointing out that that fact was incorrect.

Of course, that's the point. How do you think they fill prisons most effectively? By criminalizing more and more stuff so that eventually, you'll be a criminal no matter what you do. They put you in prison for downloading movies, smoking pot in your own house, videotaping a police officer, etc. Do you honestly think people who do these things are criminals on some moral level, did they really harm anyone? They are criminals only because the government criminalized what they do.

@baalisgod666 Solon was an expression of the will of the people.. in a sense a first moment of the democracy that followed.. it was enabling the infrastructure for what people had begun to demand.
In Greece before, every piece of land had a sign post with a list of names... of who owed whom.. a kind of property insanity.
Solon collectivised it all, no Greek could be a slave.
In a sense that is like socialism, except its' making machines all our slaves, as humanity becomes inclusive & democratic.

Unanswered question. Which is most cost effective? Private prisons don't put people in jail. BUT.. if someone is sentenced, it is to the benefit of the state to do it as cheaply as possible. Here in California, one of the biggest lobbying groups is the prison guard unions in public prisons. Small rural towns beg to get a prison built. Why? Because the guards are recruited locally, you don't need college diplomas... and they bring in huge amounts of money.

@goodtimebob I think the argument was exactly that private prisons DO put people in jail (by bribing politicians/judges). Now if the same happens on a state level, that's even more wrong
CardPlay3r 8 months ago
@CardPlay3r Judges don't decide the jail. Just the sentence. Government is so efficient that a private company can probably incarcerate an inmate under the same or better conditions than a government jail and still make a profit. Its costs more to put someone in a federal prison than a university. They spend more supporting inmates than soldiers. IF we can't ship the criminal wetbacks home, lets at least give them a jail comparable to what they would get at home.
goodtimebob 8 months ago
@goodtimebob The point was not which type of jail costs the state less per inmate, but that people are thrown in jail for minor offenses so these companies could make a profit. If you agree with that well...good for you I guess If you don't think that's the case, you have to wonder though, why does America have so many people in prison compared to other countries? It's actually the highest rate of incarceration in the world, 743 / 100,000 people
