We decided that we'd lock everyone up instead of using the community to punish or restrict criminal behavior. It actually ties into folks like Phelps, etc, and how we as free people are not allowed to handle them.

It's disgraceful, the percentage we lock up, and a serious smear on our future legacy.

And agreed, the commercial prison system is disturbing, but it's more a result of police/guard unions than an evil conspiracy methinks.

Great topic D!
