Something we should really think about this Sunday.
(via Being Liberal)
The Republican war on crime was actually a war for profit for the prison industry, just an excuse to spend taxpayer money to fund over 40 thousand dollars per prisoner per year to incarcerate many poor and minorities mostly for non violent victimless offences. Think if that money was spent on prevention like education, jobs, anti poverty programs and neighborhood renewal but then the benefits would go to the public. Let's face it the Republican 40 year war on crime was just an excuse to have a war against the poor for profit.
