Ive been pondering this problem of a burgeoning prison population... Why is that? I think its simple, they want to be there. Quite often is better than the lives they were living outside the wire. There are proponents of focusing on trying to rehabilitate the prison population... I submit that might be the wrong approach... Lets take a look at crime in the old west... think about all the offenses that were hanging offenses... cattle rustlin, horse thievin... Think about that.. What if we actually made prison a miserable place to be and actually enforced our laws, including capital punishment for some things (murder, child rape, drug kingpins, as some examples)... I would offer that our crime rates and subsequently our prison populations would go down drastically instead of the upward movement that they are on now.... Discuss.
