DO WE REALLY WANT REVENGE FOREVER??
Murderers and Rapists. Yes , some crimes are horrendous. Most are property crimes and crimes of poverty' We used to believe in rehabilitation, that people change- that was before prisons become profit making enterprises and vilifying prisoner became a way to maintain over capacity prisons no matter the consequences.
here are some charts to begin the conversation:
 |
| over a third of our prisoners are mentally ill , hundred have been designate by the courts as " not guilty due to mental insanity or defect" . they are in prison because the courts do not know what to do with them and many end of in torturous solitary confinement ( RHUS). See more:: ( coming) |
Over half of new admissions any year in our prison system are there for NON FELONIES, RULE Violations and they are revoked ( reincarcerated ) with little of no due process.
( see- coming)
WE SUPPORT THE PRISON INDUSTRY, NOT SCHOOLS or our children
As stated in blurb above, when I went to college tuition was 2000 a semester and we have 7000 prisoners . Now tuition In WI INSTATE is around 10,00 dollars and population in prison is 22000 . who benefits?
NEXT: WHO ARE WE INCARCERTATING?
