Often in libertarian mediums of discussion, the prison industrial complex and its implications on future generations is talked about. While it is true that the war on drugs greatly contributes to the mass incarceration here in the states, placing blame solely on poor drug policy isn’t helping the discussion that much.
In reality, there isn’t one clear cut reason as to why the criminal justice system is the way it is today. It’s a combination of poor policy decisions made over the course of the last half of the 20th century. One of the policies contributing to the amount of Americans behind bars is our embarrassingly long prison sentences.

Its a joke
For a FREE nation, we have more laws than any other developed nation.
Some are just not harsh enough. Some of the laws, need harder guide lines. So the Judges have to give them enough time.
Too bad. Should not have broken the law. Everyone makes a choice. Who care if it’s embarr$#%&!@*ing. Omg!
who gives a c**p what other countries do.. this is our country and our system of justice,
Perhaps if they were a little longer those incarcerated would be too old to return for their second, third, fourth and up convictions.
Who cares?
don,t do the crime and you won,t do the time
Because most other countries have such harsh punishments like cutting off hand and executing immediately.
