Prison limits employment opportunities, and you have to support dependents while people are in prison. Our rates of imprisonment are embarrassing, highest in the world.
And I know you are in AK, but Louisiana has the highest in the country. So we have the highest rate of incarceration in the world. You can't tell me that's good for the economy and "welfare state."

It helps perpetuate the welfare state.
The extreme rise in single parent households began with the wars on drugs and poverty. It's no coincidence.
When half the black folks, almost 40% of the white folk have been arrested before they reach 30 your society has a serious issue. I'll guess in La it's even higher.
When men go to prison, the State picks up the tab for their dependents. Since their employment opportunities are nipped, we'll be supporting many for life. It's a perpetual cycle.
