With only 5% of the world’s population, the U.S. has 25% of the world’s prison population – that makes us the world’s largest jailer.
Since 1970, our prison population has risen 700%.
One in 99 adults are living behind bars in the U.S. This marks the highest rate of imprisonment in American history.
One in 31 adults are under some form of correctional control, counting prison, jail, parole and probation populations.
Even shithole 3rd World Countries don't have as many felons as 1st World America.

People are in prison because they cant behave themselves and respect one and other.
Does that tell you anything about America?

one can look at it as feeding the beast. Everybody has a hand in the basket, from once a person is arrested and a case is created...all the way down to Correctional Officers, Parole Officers, public defenders, private attorneys, politicians. I believe it's one the biggest money makers today. The system depends on people having dysfunctional relationships, coming from or out of dysfunctional relationships, being the product of dysfunctional relationships, not having any guidance, drug habits, and a general "I-don't-care" attitude.
Once you allow yourself to be a food item to feed the beast, you are constantly recycled thru over and over.

America has more prisoners than Communist China. Land of the free , LOL.

you're forgetting about "Prison Industries".
There are prison's that have "housing" jobs for inmates. They build roughly 40 houses a year (3 a month) and sell them for $35k-45k, while paying the inmates $.25/hour to build them. Then the inmates turn around and spend that money in prison commissary for items marked up 100-300% (over $4 for a jar of generic peanut butter that costs $1.60, $.58 for Ramen noodles, $3.50 for a $1.50 bag o generic bbq chips, $2.50 for a loaf of $1.20 bread, almost $5 for a bag of $2.80 generic instant coffee, ect, ect, ect...)... and not to mention the monopoly on the phone company's, where a 20min long distance call costs over $7 and a local call costs over $4 with a $3 connection fee. So if your call 'somehow' gets cut off after 1 minute, you gotta call back and your 20 min phone call costs $10 total (2 connection fees).
many times, especially in small towns where the prison is THE main 'industry', the prison officials (warden and secretary of corrections) are investors in the companies that supply the commissary as well as long-distance phone service providers.

We lock people up for the dumbest of reasons. Prisons are being privatized at a faster rate. You're going to see so much corruption your head will spin. The prison industrial complex is upon us. It's in the best interest of prison contractors to keep people locked up and to build more prisons.

This^^^In America, prisons are traded on the stock exchange...Think about that. How many judges have prison stock?

Yep, prisons are big biz and employ a lot of people and we have stupid drug laws that get you locked up for years for a quarter of coke. Stupid, but people sign up to go every day

G_Tard is right. Everybody should call their congressman and ask what they intend to do about the n/i/g/g/e/r problem in this country.

All these conspiracy theories....The so called prison industrial complex doesn't generate money. It costs money. The only people who get rich from it are greedy ass lawyers.

Corporations are increasing becoming involved in the business of prison management and they are making a profit and their profits will only increase. Its not a conspiracy and quite fascinating when you read about it.

When you socialize the costs ie bill the taxpayer and keep the money that comes in it doesn't matter how much money it loses. It's the American (Obama) dream in a microcosm.
All the parasites make money off it, including so called liberal politicians

There should be ways to extract some usefulness out of this large prison population

Depends on the prison.
Super-max, Max, maybe... but medium, medium-low, low, and trustee units easily net profit. Cheap labor. They produce goods/services akin to sweat-shops that easily cover overhead.

This. They hire cheap, substandard and inexperienced labor. These prisons are also often understaffed.

Expand on this please, what corporations are involved? As far as I understand it Tax dollars pay for state and county jails. The fact that the people locked up don't pay taxes makes it even more of a money losing situation.

It tried to be "big business" several times and failed. Corporate would rather the jobs just be taken overseas, rather than play politics. The hoops businesses had to jump through to help keep jobs here (prison jobs but jobs nonetheless) was ridiculous with all of the red tape bueracracy.
The big business in prison and jail systems is the jail bidding contracts themselves (food, telecom, garments, etc.)
It's not so much a crisis or epidemic of the prison system as it is a realization that society has increased it's population of non law abiding citizens and allowed an Emilie Durkheim theory of anomie (degrading of social rules, norms, mores). You now have an abundant amount of people that do not respect society, so they end up in the prison system because the court has no other recourse.

Sysco as an example of the food contracts.
Avaya/Cisco/Nortel as an example of the telecomunications of the telecom contracts.
Weapon contracts
Garment contracts
Chemical cleaning supplies coontracts
List goes on.

We also have the "pre" prison industrial complex that is a huge employer and not likely to go away.......the DEA and other such businesses.
And businesses they are, feeding at the taxpayer trough

The Netherlands is closing prisons due to a serious prisoner shortage
osing eight prisons (and sadly, cutting 1,200 jobs) because a drop in crime has left the country with a dearth of criminals. It's a reversal from the 1990s, when the prison system was overcrowded, but now the country's all set up for 14,000 prisoners, and only has 12,000 actually incarcerated. The Dutch justice ministry expects the crime rate to keep falling, so the Netherlands is working on an agreement with Belgium to import some 500 Belgian prisoners to the Netherlands' Tilburg prison. This is officially the least-American national problem ever. [Source]

yes, today's "hip hop" ::)
just a bunch of puppets teaching the impressionable black youth how to sell crack rocks and defy police, end up locked up and off the streets. this is not what hip hop is supposed to be about

ok.. take a state agency... say... the texas board of accountancy.
now, the texas board of accountancy has to have archives of all their documents.. all applications... all credentials.. all transcripts.. all diplomas...disciplinary reports... ect.... everything.
for these archives, they need digital as well as micro-film copies.
now, these are thousands upon thousands of documents that need to be archived each year. each document needs to be filmed and scanned and developed and proofed and stored.
this is a time consuming and tedious job... also a skilled job working with german zeutschel cameras that cost 10's of thousands of dollars.... the state agency would expect to pay $15-20/hour for that job.
so what happens? the prison gets paid 50% of that (7.5-10/hr per worker) and pays the inmate $.25. So 100 hours for only $25... whereas out of that 100hrs, the prison makes $725-$875 PER WORKER... ususally there are 15-20 if not more, workers.
this is true for the majority of prison industries.... some prison industries even pay minimum wage... or close to it... because the can afford to because they bill $30+.
and yes, if you make money in prison, enough to qualify to pay tax... you will pay tax.
if you're 'indigent' and don't have any money... you can order shampoo and razors and toothpaste on commissary, but you will OWE the prison for it... and as soon as you get a 'job' (prison job, not when you get out) or you get some money sent in from friends/fam, the prison will take their cut.

If you ask me, it's a pretty sad day when the state can own slaves but private citizens can't. :-\
