Is a privately-owned multi-billion-dollar company, Corrections Corporation of America the solution to overcrowding jails in America? Is that how we want to reduce the crime rates, by incarcerating the criminals and not rehabilitating them instead? Here is what Lords and Cate has to say on this.

PHILADELPHIA | Mural of ex-inmates seeks public input on mass incarceration
PHILADELPHIA — For nearly two decades, Philadelphia’s Municipal Services Building has been home to a bronze sculpture of Frank Rizzo, the polarizing, tough-on-crime former mayor and police commissioner.
Now, a temporary art installation highlighting formerly incarcerated men and women who are working to transform their lives — intended to spark a conversation about mass incarceration — hovers…

Faced with overcrowded prisons and soaring correctional costs, states are rethinking how to define and punish drug crimes.
"The interest in sentencing reform now spans Washington D.C.’s normal partisan and ideological battle lines. The Smarter Sentencing Act of 2014, now pending before the Senate, would cut mandatory minimums for a host of federal drug crimes. Its sponsors include Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, liberal Democrats Patrick Leahy and Sheldon Whitehouse, Maine independent Angus King, and libertarian Republicans Rand Paul and Mike Lee.
The federal moves come after years of similar changes at the state level. Between 2009 and 2013, 40 states took some action to ease their drug laws, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of legislative data provided by the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Vera Institute of Justice. Twenty-seven states moved only in the direction of easing, while 13 other states eased some laws and toughened others — often as part of a broader rethink of their drug policies."

California AG "Shocked" To Learn Her Office Wanted To Keep Eligible Parolees In Jail To Work

Leftists cause prison populations to swell then wring their hands over it
Leftists often remind me of Homer Simpson, when he says things like this.
To Alcohol! The cause of… and solution to… all of life’s problems.
Why? Because they put policies in place that cause problems (just like alcohol can) then they think they have the solution to the problems as well — even though they are just more of the same…

"A victimless crime is one in which the accused has not acted in a manner harmful to another. In other words, nothing was stolen; no property damaged; no other party was hurt -- no other real person, that is. What has occurred is this: The accused has broken some 'shall' or 'shall not' statute of law. In all such cases the state assumes the role of victim, no matter that in most cases the accused is the real victim and the state the assailant."
Past Reference.com Fact of the Day
The US Government is supposedly "looking" for ways to trim their federal budget (US debt recently surpassed its GDP). The Federal Prison System's budget is on the rise and America currently has more prisoners than any other country in the world. This is due to the massive amount of victimless crimes. We need to end all victimless crimes today.
