Weird. I always thought the Rettop Method was the best for generating traffic. I am going to book mark this blog, nice topics discussed

By the way… I have a chicago traffic site. It pretty much covers Traffic related stuff.

Come and check it out if you get time

Your mention of the privatized incarceration business was one I hadn’t even covered in thsi essay, but I am glad you took the time to bring it up. (Along with your other good points.) How is society served by a prison system that is run by people who are only trying to make a buck off of other people’s bad choices? The answer, of course, is that it isn’t. The only benefactors in the private prison system are the businesses who run these jails and who have the highest incentive to ensure that rehabilitation does not take place. Thier business model depends on repeat offenders in order to sustain their profits. For these systems to establish true rehabilitation would be tantamount to putting oneself out of business, something that makes no sense to a pure capitalist. They thrive on the continuation of crime and care little for the safety of aociety as a whole, despite any protestations to the contrary.

Yes! Community Service should be where our non-violent criminals find themselves. Hitting them in the pocketbook does hurt, but that usually lands in the lap of the family anyway, so I think the message gets lost more times than not. Instead, lets get them out from behind bars where they do society no good, and give them the opportunity to “pay the piper” directly. I don’t just mean picking up trash beside the highway. How about building bridges, parks, houses for the poor or even for the government? What about working in huge communal-type gardens to feed the hungry? I could go on. These people could even gain skills that break them out of their lifestyle habits. Who knows? It happens already, but with too small a percentage of the prison populous. There are thousands of productive ways they could pay for their crime, and sitting in a cell taking the space of a violent criminal who is a literal risk to society just isn’t one of them.
I think the best way to make crime pay is to take away the notion that they’ll be able to “plea out of it”. I wholly do not believe in a zero tolerance system, and in this country that is worth stating. Simply, the punishment really should fit the crime, and that’s all too rare with rapists being released after 6 months while pot smokers spend 10 years. Just looking for some balance here.
The creation of a “prison state” where we NEVER have enough prison space for all our BAD people is ridiculous, yet that’s where we are. This has led to prison privatization, encouraged by our government, the very existence of which astounds me.
There are so many other good answers to our dilemma, if down to earth people with worldly views and street sense would just come to the table.
Oh, is that us?
Well, it seems like common sense.
