  • Factually, many people in prison these days are sex offenders, mostly non-violent ones (i.e. teens who had consensual sex with other teens). Thanks to political corruption, prison overcrowding gets worse every year, especially in states like Texas, and that raises our taxes. We need to start differentiating between violent and non-violent crimes.
