Having the largest prison population in the world tends to do that kind of thing. We love to lock people up for stupid shite. Prison should be for violent offenders and hard core criminals.
We're created several generations of institutionalized black Americans. We throw them in jail, have to take care of their dependents and then them when they are released. It's been more damaging that anything that happened 50 plus years ago.

That is exactly why the crime rate continues to fall.
Saying that we lock people up for "stupid shite" is not understanding what has happened to the crime rate in every meaningful category.
I cannot fathom people that ignore this.
I cannot be sympathetic to people that choose to make their life's work crime. The next post will be about how much it costs to "lock them up for life".
That cost is only exceeded by what costs turn their thug asses loose.
