that's a disturbing figure...

Nice info...

Hold on Cory - are you saying let all the drug users out of jail. Blasphemy.

I just got out of prison...

Guys finally got a break a few months ago when they amended the crack law and reduced it from 100/1 to like 10/1 or whatever, and lots of guys got to go home. A little late, but better than never. Second Chance passed in April so that means more $ for drug treatment, diversion programs, and more HWH time. Unicor can compete with big companies right here without going overseas for cheap labor...they got prisoners they pay 1.29 /hour to work. In the feds, you become a slave, they work you starting at .24 cents an hour. ...and mexican prisons aren't too bad if you got a little $, they at least let you see your family and have conjugal visits, plus they encourage business an let you run one, not so in the feds. The feds don't give a fuck about you or your family...

true. i know people who have been in prison who got drugs easy.

One of the problems is that the State attorneys are putting a lot of people in Jail by getting them to take a plea to things they could NOT have proven in Court. For them it goes down as a win and thats all they care about.

1/30 americans will go to prison at some point in their life... thats means every class you sat in in highschool... ONE of those kids will go to prison, if not yourself.

I agree with this. I came from a wealthy family when I was a kid, and the moment I left home I was on my own - with zero financial support from my family, or any other kind of support. As a high school drop out who was into drugs, homeless some of the time, with a crappy job making minimum wage I had few options. I ended up in the Marines, afterwards moved to California, went to college, and I'm living the life high on the hog.

People choose to be poor in America???

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


wow you are dumb

lets see how these numbers change as the price of food, and oil aling with increased average debt and people on the brink of losing homes increse

and then maybe... your brainless mind will understand the effects economics on social demographics and people in general

but not likely

welcome to my ignore list for being an idiot ... believe me you are in good company there.

no need to reply as I never read the posting of those on my ignore list ... never seriously

that's because 90% of the poorest of the poor aren't white, do you seriously think that a black doctor with a huge house, a porsche, and a model wife half his age, would start robbing gas stations just because he's black???

people are as fucked up as the system lets them (makes them) be and skin color has nothing to do with it

Fitty Jailhouse ROCKS:thumbsup

oh yes. They also choose to be poor and ignorant, and to live in the ghetto and to have cracked out parents lol!

When we have 50% of the population in prison, Republicans will still find something to be scared about enough to keep putting people away.

Easy to solve, drop the stupid laws on plants that you can grow with no chemical additives needed, and the prison population would be cut way down. :2 cents:

lets get that opium den started! hehe

hehe well not my plant of choice, but ya things coming from the ground shouldn't be an issue of the government. lol
