although i agree with some comments that say America locks up people for stupid crimes. drug possession isn't one of those crimes.
idk how each state handles criminals but i do know that in CA you only get 3 chances before a life sentence. so #1 could be when you are young and stupid but over 18. #2 could be serious. and you might get your life on track but since you now have 2 strikes if you get into any trouble you get life.
Fluffymole0913 I live in the UK and i dont really see that :/ if someone's annoying you , 1st talk they continue squash them like the bugs they are , no need for gangs and shit x)
The American 'justice' system is set up against minorities and anyone without money. The harsh punishments for minor drug offenses (I'm mostly talking about marijuana) are unnecessary. While jails are called 'correctional facilities' but there is no rehabilitation. Think about it, if you're poor and need a roof over your head, three meals a day and all the man ass you can handle I can see why so many brothers become institutionalized.
Because the US is the most free country in the world, and allow others to make stupid choices. Like rape, robbery, sell drugs to kids, drink and drive. The US also sends people to prison instead of cutting off their hands and feet, or canning them.
There are 2.5 million prisoners in America because we aren't so "free" here. And probably because pot isn't legal.
There would be more people in prison if people like O.J. Simpson and Casey Anthony weren't allowed to walk. We also have A LOT of idiot thieves. Enforcing the death penalty much sooner would help too. And of course some states don't have the death penalty. Precisely why Charles Manson has been rotting in jail for over 30 years now.
Because most prisons are privately owned and the more people you have in them the more profit you make. A fine example of corporate take over of human rights.
Because the US has a horrible social divide between the types of people we always see on TV living the amazing American Life that everyone seems to want and the types of people who live in shitholes where a lot of them have turned to drug trade, theft and gangs for money. That is how the US has one of the worst crime rates on the planet but also manages to be rich. The same kinda goes for the UK and France.
It's the reason why if I was ever to leave London I'd go to Canada or Australia.
@picorettte Have you seen the film District 13? It's all in French but It's a very good action film set in a shut off, poverty and crime struck district of Paris. It's a bit of an exaggeration but it really does display what France is like. Most big cities have a total divide between the areas tourists flock to every year and a jungle of concrete where violence occurs frequently. France is very socially divided.
@fluffymole0913 i know im french, thats why i ws saying "us" xD i havent seen that though might give it a try. But tbh i dont like Paris even though i live in it because the ambiance in the streets is just... sick. You feel bad if you walk on your own without friend to talk to, the city seems rly wild and full of hate :s but thats just a feeling not EVERYBODY is dangerous xD but yeah its not what it used to be :( and im not being racist but this is partially due to immigration, it created groups
@picorettte Oh when you said that I thought you meant that France were telling other countries they have less of a gag problem than they really do. I think the way you described it is almost exactly how it is in some areas of London and Birmingham. I saw a documentary where a man called Donal McIntyre goes to some of the worlds most dangerous places and with one episode he went to Paris. Am I right in saying that there is a lot of tension between North Africans and Blacks there?
And lots of those people are black ,poverty is the answer ,young people are forced to grow cold or sell drugs ,the prison,s in the US are owned by corporations and demand G money, its better in Canada where the worst are put away but the rest are helped to see a better way .
My son wanted to know why the US spends more on prisoners then students. He said some principal in the US tried to have his school redefined in his state as a prison so that the school could get more funding.
only commercial?! i don't know mate, i hate the commercial stuff.. i think is really sad that your soo up to commercial stuff.. you geting a dislike from me =(
8,334/1,000,000 americans are in prison, thats 0.83%, and thats because people of the ghetto need a living becuase the american bitch ass goverment wont fix their shit :D
the great thing about trolls in reality is that you can beat thier ass and no one will snitch on you. You see, trolls have evolved, before they were those smug introverts that stick out as the shy, quiet, awkward person. they type that is voted most likely to shoot up your school. After social networks and video based sites came around, it gave them the freedom to spread their troll wings. they are the Keyboard Klansmen and Keyboard Warriors we know and face from time to time!
Why you ask? Its a business, the more prisoners in, the more they make. The report was that U.S spent 30 Billion dollars annually on prisons. I'd say why not just ship all these assholes to another country. I wouldn't cost as much as keeping them here. And I also read somewhere they are building a new Max Prison that will cost a few 100 million dollars.
Duke you have to join google+! I sent you an invite so if the invites are open when you check the invite you can join google+. I hope to see you there :)
You know you want to join, don't even try lying to us. Facebook is dead now.
our legal system is a little backwards we (and i shouldn't say we coz i wouldn't do that... maybe) would arrest anyone for anything. a good number of inmates yea are cold blooded criminals the rest are there to reach quota. "a demon spends more time demonizing the innocent to glorify themselves" but that just my opinion.
