Sheesh. Theben, you say "America hating socialist" like it is a bad thing.
I actually like America, warts and all. Go back to Russia, you eurocommie.
I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
So rather than have prisoners do work, maybe even learn a trade, it's better to have them just sit with time on their hands, thinking and studying possible weaknesses of their confinement?
That's really brilliant.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

The big problem is that for a fee for profit companies can pay the state to employee prison labor in for profit ventures so what ever it is a company makes it very well could have been made by forced prison labor.

You keep saying this, but you have yet to back it up with anything.

Even if the point is conceded for the sake of argument, why would it matter? It's not like these are gulags. These folks were tried by a jury of their peers and sentenced to actual crimes (not political crimes). They get their three square meals, shelter, and medical attention with costs far exceeding whatever value their work will produce.
For me, the shear numbers of prisoners points to something that the US does differently than all other countries -- it's nothing that can be denied. It gives me pause.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

It does make me wonder if some other countries report the true number.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Well for the other western democracies, yes of course they do.

Those are the countries you should be around the same level at though. You shouldn't be anywhere near the repressive dictatorships in terms of prison numbers.

Not really, just because we are all western democracies does not mean there are not significant differences between us that have dramatic effects on such things.

The dictatorships aren't good comparisons. As stated, we don't have gulags. We don't have any political prisoners other than some strained links created by the likes of Counterpunch.

Well yes, the US is much more right wing. It's pretty much all down to policy differences, especially around custodial sentencing for drug possession.
The crime rates between UK and US aren't that different, other than you having vastly more murders. But murderers are still a very small proportion of the total prison population.
