I am sad to say that we are heading down the route of private prisons aswell, i am whole heartedly against them even if they save the tax payer money. We are also headed towards possible legalisation of weed which i believe will cut prison numbers remarkably. Does anyone know the percentage locked up in the states for marijuana based crimes? i would be interested to know.
