i see so since you dont have an actual response your just going to lash out with an emotional response. got it. as endersblade has stated these types of people are monsters. they are not ever going to function in society. so what exactly is the point of keeping them locked up behind bars when our prisons are overcrowded and could use the space?

We're long overdue for a dark ages anyway, why not?
You can cry and scream all that snotty bullshit about what's wrong and what's right, but it doesn't matter in these cases. These people made a conscious choice to become a monster. We are talking about people who go against all the rules of society; these people cannot be helped, nor does anyone but silly bleeding hearts really think they can. These are people who commit atrocities to others for the simplest, inane reasons, who see nothing wrong with it. Why keep them in prison? Why make them spend the rest of their life there, living on taxpayer dollars? I for one do NOT like the thought of supporting murders, rapists and the like. Do you?
You stop being a human at that point, and just become a monster. You aren't worth saving for any reason. We have more than enough people to contend with as it is, why the hell should we bother supporting those of us who don't wish to fit into society?
Gangs and War on Drugs are big issue with the high number of people behind bars. I would venture to say most country don't have the number of gang members or drug users ( i am talking stuff other then pot). Put that together with the fact a lot of gang members and drug users do not want to be reformed and just view being locked up as a status symbol at least for gang members. The us does have programs that will help with some people who want to get into said programs in prison. Could we use more? yes but at the same time prison isn't summer school and wasting money on mandatory programs on people who don't want to be reformed seems foolish to me.
i agree the three strikes rule in theory is a nice idea but in practice not so good. the problem is the law doesnt distinguish between minor petty crime(im sorry but getting life for shoplifting 9 videotapes made me laugh at the sillyness of it all.) and murder. not sure why it doesnt.

the war on drugs is WHY we have such a gang problem. same thing happened during prohibition where it gave power to people how make it their business to sell black market items. and really where do you get this line of thinking gang members (drug users in general don't want to go to jail, NONE OF THEM DO) only go to prison to show how tough they are... movies? granted that has happened but only with individuals who you can easily label as sociopathic and those cases are rare, which is why they have "rep". and again when we have for profit prisons they treat it like a business, meaning they will cut corners everywhere they can. which is why in most for profit prisons are so violent, they give the inmates nothing, NOTHING better to do then resort to violence or try to get into solitary confinement for their own safety. the for-profit prison system needs to be banned.
My first reaction/answer to this was
Because here in America we have a lot more in depth and highly, highly professional criminal investigators/forensics/lawyers/and the whole infrastructure that goes with locking people up.
Not to say we just lock a lot of people up
But to say that, we catch more of them than other countries do?
Your country is not as terrible as you may think it is.
we catch them for nonviolent BS more then ever.
If more murderers/thieves were in prison from say the 1980s your statement would apply.
Your country is not as terrible as you may think it is

Fair enough.
dont those companies have the prisioners produce products or services that the prisioners provide that the companies then turn around and sells for massive profits? i think they get paid something like 35cents an hour?
