If so why is there such a shortage of jail space? Why are they always letting people slide and not sending them to jail or letting them out early because they don't have anywhere to put them? Why not invest some of this money and build new prisons or expand the existing ones?

Speaking of laws...it has probably been 20 years ago...that I read there were more than ten million laws/ordinances on the books nationally...from city to county to state to federal laws/ordinances. When one considers that each law/ordinance restricts something...one can wonder how we can call ourselves a free country. In my life I have had many...many more problems with city and county laws/ordinances than I have ever had with state or federal laws/ordinances.
