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.

American Criminals deserves longer sentence. You let them out and shortly they will commit crimes and back to Jail. Saves taxpayers money this way.
because we jail people for profit and our jails are owned and run by corporations with promises to the state to keep them at 90% capacity all the time.
RIGHT DORE!
This country has over 330 million people, more than probably any country except China. You have more people, you have more crime. And if you don’t like our laws and don’t want to follow them you should try living in another country. You get put in jail just for entering illegally most other countries. Let’s start doing that her and illegal immigration would slow to nothing!
Save a cell for Hillary keep her there forever she s$#%&!@*bag
