yeah, that never happened to inmates prior the the Cival War, huh?
The white women mafia has decided that the evolution of policing started with corralling slavery.
Its a myth they hold dear.

Correct the record, Rog. Are slave patrols a fable?

No.
But there was law enforcement, and "patrols" before slavery.
You dont get to make up fake narriatives.

No. It’s the emotional decision making by crying individuals such as yourself.
Been missing you in the Charlotte woman murder threads. I understand your absence though.

In the real world, things (products & services) can be affordable, accessible & of high quality.
You only get two pick two however.
Commies, after 100 years of abysmal failure, have yet to figure out this basic truth.

How can “crime” be decreasing and prison populations be “ballooning” at the same time?
Mandatory minimum sentences, 3 strikes policies, elimination and reduction of parole, etc. etc.

Inmates are also exploiting the taxpayers for free housing, food and healthcare. I would say we're even but they're taking way more than they give back. Sorry if they have to mop the floor in the buildings they live in.

She understands racial narratives, but she sure avoids the sex related incarceration discrepancy.

What did it look like before the Civil War?
Penal labour existed in a variety of forms across the entire world for a long time. Why do you think all forms of things you disagree with started at the Civil War?

Society has paid, I assure you, the labor is not free at all.

Anything that has value, will be ascribed value in any economic system. Capitalism just excels at it.
Because the customer decides the price.
If the customer does not decide the price, it isn't free market capitalism

I read an article a couple weeks ago about the looming crisis of the decreased population (due to the lower crime rate "catching up"). Basically there is a disproportionate "old" population who are serving long sentences without an adequate replacement population for the prisons we have.
But we could lose a substantial % of our prison population and still out-pace all the other developed, Western nations.

As much as I hate it, mass incarceration absolutely worked to bring crime levels down.

Maybe folks should stop breaking the law.
Additionally, I’ve not seen this ballooning of prisoners.
Incarceration rates have been going down since the 1970s if I recall criminology 101 correctly b

Having a job in prison is a reward for good behavior. Why do all Leftists have this warped infantile view of the world?

Yes. You trust politicians to allocate resources more efficiently than a free market? Not sure if that's what you're trying to imply but if so just like some clarity on that.
