16. No, not more prisons. Prisons cost a lot of money. Not to mention
their dehumanizing aspects. We are the most prison-happy country on earth. We have the highest number of people in prison and the highest per capita number of people in prison. About half of the people in prison are non-violent offenders, and about half of those are drug offenders.

I say we reserve prison for the people we're scared of, not the one's we're just mad at.
