Profit from Punishment: Prison lobby locking 'n' loading up on cash

The US needs all the cash it can get just now, and reducing the prison population would save billions of dollars. However, some have a vested interested in keeping as many people as possible behind bars.

I am 68 years old, when I was young most people liked and respected the police .Now these days most people hates despise and afraid of the police. what more can I say about law enforcement ,Police are armed and retarded they will hurt you they will kill you and they will get by with it. It takes police to have a police state. All police are taught from day one at the police academy to lie and put innocent people in jail that's why you cannot be a Christian and a policeman at the same time.

@moviematcanada By the way I can't vote for anybody because I don't live in the US.

I think that there has been an unfair bias, from the media (Fox News) not showing enough Ron Paul.

This man understands the roll the 'War on Drugs' plays for the Government, and he's saying

he would change that.

Please every true American who is tired of liberties being stripped away from them in the name

of a greater good, vote Ron Paul !

@Outlawzand1

You have to stop talking Ron Paul can't make it, that is what they want if everyone says this then nobody is going to vote for him because they don't want to vote for a loser.

Put positive thoughts out there my friend and never say never and when you hear someone say it correct them.

Ron Paul is a winner even if he doesn't win because it's the people that support him that are going to make a difference in the big picture...

@moviematcanada Oh right, thanks for that info.

It's sad to think that theres a few fat cats profiting from other

peoples misery.

With Ron Paul I don't think he has much chance of getting into parliament.

His ideas contradict what the real owners of America want.

@Outlawzand1

Actually the Gov doesn't profit from the War on Drugs, the Prison Corps profit, the Drug Cartels Profit from higher prices because of probation, the Banksters launder money for the Cartels they make a profit.

The Politicians get their kick backs from all 3 they make a profit by using the Gov system to make it all happen.

Ron Paul is the only one that sees this & has made his point why the War on Drugs is wrong, but the Sheeple believe the WoD is good!

Good 4 Bankruptcy!

@KYKIN44 To be fair to the police, this week they were filmed beating both a peaceful white male alongside a peaceful asian female. So they are atleast equal opportunity beaters these days.  Baby steps.

[RAZOR2177]

I hate this, just another way that america has been sold out by big corporations. Funny thing is, alot of you who are saying you hate america, have jobs in your countries thanks to these same greedy corporations. So, shut the hell up.
