Stop the 'war on drugs'. Think about it. I am inclined to believe that the majority of inmates would then not be inmates. Less inmates makes keeping an eye on the inmates easier. Who knows, maybe the inmates could even.. well.. I know that it can sound crazy to some Muricans, but yeah.. get a cell each? No need to treat criminals like trash. They are not trash. They are criminals. They need positive motivation instead of being demoralized by fear, and through that being negatively motivated. And what is a criminal really, but an individual who does not share (and reacts as such) the same symbolic favourite colour as the vast majority of society? Sure, lets punish people for that, instead of showing them why some/you/we think that whatever colour is better; e.g "your favourite colour tends to have children needlessly raped while partly being set on fire, whereas this other colour over there tends to not effect other people in any but small and (to the majority) somewhat trivial ways."
Speaking of which. What's with the obsession with punishment? The entire fokking planet should focus more on what can be improved in life. How we can reward people who used to think to themselves that so could never be so, and as such dug themselves into a sheltered crappy and socialy rejected hole of "criminalness". At the end of the day it is all colours (RACIST!!! sigh, grow a thought), and nothing matters without a relation to said thing/person. "But I like green better than your stupid blue, so yeah bla bla world war nine".
It is not our thumbs that separate us from the "animals". We can choose to not hurt what is around us.
Crappy rant over. Bye.
