We don't have the balls to operate low budget mental asylums anymore. The only real option is send these people to a penal colony. If you are homeless and constantly getting arrested or causing violence, there is no place for you in our society. GTFO of our cities and get sent to a penal colony island. "life" in prison can cost the tax payer over a million dollars per person over their sentence. We spend about 80 billion dollars a year on prisons. That's less money we can spend on roads, education, and welfare systems. In some states we spend more on prisons than schools. People in our once great cities pay thousands of dollars each month in taxes for services they can't even enjoy. They think twice about riding the subway at night, or filling up their car with gas at the wrong place. Enough is enough. What are we doing. We are becoming a failed state in real time. We need law and discipline, not social politics.

I have always thought that for murderers and pedophiles we should drop them off on an island and let them fend for themselves.

Seeing these cop videos with these whacked out people.


Who the frick will want to work at one of these asylums for what is probably lower pay?

So even if we opened them, you are still fishing the bottom of the barrel and will have similar abuses like in old folks homes and prisons.

I like the idea of "High Heaven". A place where you can go, but you have to stay. All your drugs of choice are free and endless. We'll burn the bodies.

I like this train of thought.

It’s about time the people that pay for everything start stepping up. Imagine how great things would be if the expectation was that you be a productive member of society until retirement. How many trillions have we spent trying to take care of people that can’t be bothered to educate or take care of themselves and their family?

We can't even staff the jails and prisons we currently operate.

Create a prison for politicians and elitists who commit grossly fraudulent, corrupt, and treasonous. Alcatraz seems like a good idea.

Use our national guard to operate our prison system with more leeway to treat criminals like criminals.

Create partnerships with other counties, similar to El Salvador, such as the Congo, Dagestan, Brazil, to exchange our most nefarious prisoners.

We need to make prisons feared again.

No. That’s the opposite. The HG is where we are headed by allowing the urban controlling class to gain power through useful dependent idiots at the expense of productive citizens in outlying areas. Feed and appease the useless masses and they will be your army.

Society would be significantly cleaner overnight with penal colonies

The vast majority of criminal offenders are repeat offenders… and not people who have been arrested 1 or 2x, but 10+ . There is no hope of rehabilitating them and they are too dangerous for society. Either they be put down, or placed in a low cost facility (like a penal colony) where they can fend for themselves. It is wrong to make society bear the costs for these losers indefinitely


Over 1/4 people who go to jail will be arrested again in the same calendar year. The madness has to end. Don’t break the law or be put down

Many lovely islands in the Aleutians that could be used.
