What should we do about overcrowded prisons???

Do this. If you are in Prison you are going to Iraq,etc,etc,etc. The women also. That will take care of overcrowded prisons.Easports48

[QUOTE="bigdcstile"][QUOTE="LOXO7"] Considering 64.7% of people in the U.S. are white, 16% are Hispanic, 12.9% are black, and 4.6% are Asian. Anything above the U.S. population percentages in prison is a terrible stat.

I think people are missing the fact of how many blacks and hispanics are below the poverty line, where the majority of crime is committed at..

[QUOTE="bigdcstile"] Not saying otherwise but, again, to eyeball these stats and then not take into account anything else pertaining to living situation and crimes committed is also 'terrible'.LOXO7

Underwater prisons. The idea will spread like wildfire.

Execute everyone serving a life sentence.....AdamPA1006

Something like this.

Legalize drugs, and release those in prison that are only there for possession.

Build more prisons.

Dispose of them using acid :twisted:

[QUOTE="Easports48"] To a civilian with no military experience, that sounds like a great idea. However, as a Soldier who has been to Iraq, that would be terrible. When you are at war you need to be able to trust the man to your left and right in battle. If you can't trust them people will get killed and I don't mean the enemy. You have to think about it, would you want a convicted rapist coming into your home to fix your broken sink? Think about it from a servicemember's point of view and add on the fact that you're handing that criminal a weapon. At the same time, it would probably hurt recruiting as well since your average civilian thinking about joining may not want to serve next to people put in the military as an alternative to jail.

1. Legalize cannibalism 2. Open chain restaurant made of prisoners' meat 3. Profit.flipin_jackass

this and that pic w/ patrick aswell as several other posts in this thread made me lol.......

anyway I definitely think the death penalty should be used more frequently and decriminalizing drugs seems like it would help. I also think sentences for certain things should be shorter, but prisons need to get rid of all the "benefits" (can't think of a better word) that prisoners receive. Like TV, videogames,books, gyms, conjugal visits and all that. Enough food to survive and basic sanitation is all they should get....
