Glad you came then, was very pleased to see he shouted out my vid. Yeah, private prisons are as mind boggling as they are infuriating, an intentionally broken system designed to increased suffering just to enrich a hyperminority of literal sociopaths.

Are there any laws in place that prevent private prisons from being designed to deliberately maximize recidivism? Because if there aren't, and high recidivism benefits the prisons, than that is definitely what's happening

It's more that private prisons just claim they're better than the public option whilst doing literally nothing to back up that claim. Then, the politicians who allow for private prisons either don't care they they're getting fleeced, or they're getting kickbacks from private prisons to allow for their awful behavior. With private prisons, a profit motive is an inherently perverse incentive.

There's not just in the US, they are *really* popular here in Australia, with at least 25% of the inmates, companies like CoreCivic and the GEO Group are really big here as well as in the US imperial homeland.

The eyes of the mighty algorithm are upon thee. It's genuinely shocking how inhumane these private prisons are.

One has to wonder what can possibly be going through someone's head, where they see and understand what they're inflicting upon someone, and go _"...yeah, this is fine. I'm a good person for doing this."_ For what, money, more money than they can reasonably spend in their lifetimes? What could they possibly buy with that in their lifetimes that's worth torturing vast swathes of their country for?

It's not even about more money than they can spend, it's about all of the money exchanging hands at all levels. Of the millions that get spent on lobbying for the continued existence of private prisons, there's probably several hundred people in Washington getting their hands greased to the tune of a few thousand just to pass on that someone else should pass on that someone else should put down a Y on a ballot on the floor and expect a generous compensation for doing so, and here's their information if they want to have a chat about it. These companies are "taking care" of so many people that the idea of this money leaving the political system is unconscionable to the only people who have the power to make it so. This isn't even necessarily an issue of one thing, be it greed or mistreatment of prisoners or apathy toward petty criminals interred into the system; it's a conflux of everything wrong in the heart of the American political establishment

@@tacocat1921 Glad you enjoyed it but sorry it was a depressing viewing. It's a gross system, but depression/discouragement won't get us anywhere. Convert your sadness into anger at the ghouls and sociopaths behind this, share the vid around, and get the word out for substantive change on this front. Private prisons are a fairly niche topic, one few are aware of and thus one few have strong opinions on. Whether you're just concerned with fiscal responsibility, or are an actual human with empathy, there is essentially no argument in favor of this system. Thus, informing, educating, and agitating people against private prisons has a reasonable chance of impacting positive change. Only time will tell, but it's something that should and definitely can be done. Imperfect Prison System is something way down the line, currently have a few other projects I'm working on.

The local prison in South West Utah is privately owned and they charge the inmates for every day they are there. They do give you a discount for good behavior and if you can pay it all when you leave.

Reopening the Asylums and revamping the mental health industry should help. There's too many crazies just walking freely amongst the sane.

@CiggySnake

6 ай бұрын

Asylums are a tricky proposition, they probably save society money (and if not they're still worth it), and they do help their charges in a sense, but at the same time there are concerns over violating people's liberties in institutionalizing them. Greater support for general mental health services is an absolute must, fully agree on that end.

The only reason why US has more medals in the Olympics is because they have more Olympian athletes from across the world than other countries do.

Not all drug use disapproved of by the State or explicitly recommended by a physician is "abuse" and thus negative. The assumption drug use is something society needs to combat is part of the reason why so many people in the US are incarcerated. (I'm aware that one can hold a negative view of nonmedical drug use without advocating criminalisation, but this mostly involves treating disordered/addictive use patterns as a health issue. Since most users are not addicts or experiencing major health issues caused by drugs, and have already chosen to defy social pressure and reject the message of pro-abstinence education including the current law in its role as a teacher, the only thing likely to reduce rates of use is direct coercion. I know this may seem a minor point in addressing a line of the introductory section not about the main topic of this video, but I felt there was sufficient nexus between pejorative views of drug use and the prison system (private or no) in the US to make it worthy of criticism.

@grimsage5809

Жыл бұрын

Consider this: drug use was used to relate black and/or leftist persons to "criminalized behaviors" and to then imprison them based on their identity and also for the cheap labor afforded under the 13th amendment's clause "except as punishment for a crime". Drugs are relatively easy to plant, especially compared to the next step up with friday night specials. Becoming a felon excludes your right to vote, pushing policy further right. At every step of the process the invisible hand of the profit motive necessarily entrenches itself to prevent capital flight instead of solve human problems. “You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” -from harpers via John Ehrlichman.
