The system is prisons for profit. None violent offenders are just a commodity. The illness is our society that too many are drugging themselves to deal with. "Where there is no vision, the people perish". When mininum wage hasn't risen in 14 years and was also way below any standard of living before that. Opportunities out of reach or unavailable to too many in our population. What goals can one set to achieve in a society where prosperity and on the job satisfaction is only granted to the few? Many jobs with little or no benefits, treating their workers like cogs in a wheel, easily replaced who see no gains themselves when the companies they are working for are seeing record profits? You ask me what dreams, hopes and excitement for the future too many don't have. That can often lead to checking out or getting into drugs and the sales of them. Yet the well connected get theirs without a problem. But instead of fixing this bottom line issues in our society, let's build more prisons for profit for investors and the greedy as children are living on the streets and mothers are incarcerated.
