Change Club Med Environment at Club Fed

Unleashing criminals from American jails onto American streets is determinately criminal. But still, the debate on American incarceration continues to flare up due to tough economic times and because our country spends roughly $50 billion annually to incarcerate public nuisances and dangerous thugs.

Shockingly, the annual cost per prisoner in California is $50,000. No wonder there has been a violent push for the privatization of prisons and the revamping of the American legal system.

The proposition that relaxing or changing laws will create fewer criminals, precisely because there’re fewer laws to offend, is shamelessly preposterous. Just punishment is the only deterrent which pragmatically prevents criminals from making a career of victimizing American citizens.

Turning prisons into productive businesses is a much better solution for the high cost of annual imprisonment than loosening laws. Yes, that’s right! Don’t house criminals in facilities where, for many, amenities are better than what they had on the streets. Rather, they should be put to work doing hard manual labor in order to pay for their stay. This will change the financial and social landscape of the prison system in a hurry. We will notice a sharp decrease in recidivism, and fewer taxpayer dollars would be necessary to subsidize the industry.

Something is terribly wrong in our nation when frightfully one in every 100 adults is locked behind bars. We are leading the modern world in imprisonments. Yet, most of America is relatively safe. If we truly desire to make America safer, we must change the Club Med environment at Club Fed.
