In 2000 there were 1.86 million amerikans in prison.

In 2002 the number climbed to 6.6 million amerikans


There is something terrobly wrong here people. Can it be possible that in just TWO years the crime rate has increased that much? Or is it something else?

What are your thoughts?

well you spelt americans wrong..

but uh.. ya, I heard prisons are getting flooded. Im actually suprised to hear only 6.6 million are in.. I woulda guessed something like 10 or 11.

the number of people in prison is always gonna rise cuz the population is. but that's a steep increase.

no idea

i think we're building a new prison in california. we could be spending money on educating people to stay out of prison, but that's too much work. we would rather just ruin lives for preventable shit.

why dont you do us a favor and post your sources because that is kind of harder to believe than aliens knocking on some1s front door.

BTW all you are trying to do is slander george bush. the same judges that are putting people behind bard were doing the same job back in the 90's under clinton.

its not calculus. any 1st grader can tell you how to stay out of prison. we dont need anti-prison 101 classes.

even still you can educate people on how to stay out of prison and that still wont stop them from committing crimes.

Its funny. I know deep down inside you see the problem. But the fact is your trying so hard defending our president you will deny the facts.

GO TO GOOGLE. TYPE PRISON POPULATION.

Tell me what you find.

Dont knock my threads unless you can prove they are false.

P.S
Why bring up Clinton? What, do you think I support him?

i was never told not to murder. i was never told not to rape. i was never told not to rob people. maybe if we told kids that from elementary school and on, it won't happen. i take a legal studies class and that class shows me the penalties for different crimes. if some of these people that committed crimes knew the penalties for their crimes, i bet it would deter them.

and it's worth a try. capital punishment is used to deter people away from crime and that hasn't worked. so it's not like trying something new is gonna hurt us.

maybe but our kids are having a hard enough time passing class right now. and by taking away from that little time they have to teach things that should be innate would only take away presious learning time.

but hey i got nothing agaisnt giving it a try but they might have to make the school day maybe? a half hour longer to make up for the lost time.
