How much more do you want to spend maintaining the largest prison system in the world?

You already have the biggest prison population in the world.

@toetz All these MEGA companies drove out the small business and community pharmacist store. They've had a war on drugs and now we have a bigger prison population than even the Stalin Regime.

This is just the natural workings of capitalism and capitalist culture. Profits always come first and the profit system itself is failing.

@streetcop157 The profit system is based upon private property the property used to exploit others and the rate of profit by which capitalist measure all success goes into natural decline because as machines replace labor which is the source of profit the rate of profit must also decline. The capitalist wins the battle of the market by the number of discharges he issues. The system creates the long term unemployed who are the source of petty crime. They system can not work because the workers can not buy back all that can be produced.

@streetcop157 And the liberal capitalist look at the criminal justice system and ask if they are getting their money's worth from a system that has the largest number of prisoners in the world by the numbers and percentage. Investments in walls and prisons do not make profits instead they go down as a government cost which the capitalist consider an unfortunate overhead cost but a necessity that drains profits also.

@rockstarofredondo The problem is the return on investment naturally declines as machines are used to replace skilled labor with unskilled labor.
