| 21. When Prisons stop = Profit |
|
Right now, that's a HUGE industry to be involved with... people are making a lot of money off of '3-strikes' laws and the like. I agree that they do have their applications, in some cases I'd almost like them to be 1-strike laws (rape, particularly, and child molestation). But 3-strikes for pot smokers, etc., quickly fill up big prisons. And someone sells food to those prisons, and clothes, and cleaning services, and... and... and.... it goes on.

If the US grew cannabis and taxed it, we'd eliminate our national debt. |
