Description

About 2.4 MILLION American people are in prisons and jails today. That is an astonishing number of incarcerated Americans and that number is steadily rising!

We put people in prison at rates that range from about 300 % to 800 % higher than other developed nations. [quoted from: Paul F. Campos, a law professor at the University of Colorado ]

While some of these people clearly should be imprisoned, we also lock away thousands of Americans for nonviolent, victimless crimes, at an immense social and economic cost.

The main reason so many Americans are behind bars is because prisons are “Big Business” in the United States. Billions of taxpayers’ dollars are spent each year to run this business.

Barbarically long sentences are handed down to nonviolent offenders and you can bet the Parole Boards will do everything they can, be it legally or illegally, to keep those prisoners behind bars. Once a person walks out of the prison, the Beast still follows with parole terms and lifetime registries that swipe away any chance at a job or a place to live.

This “Big Business” is nothing less than ORGANIZED CRIME!

Do we want to spend our tax dollars to allow this crime to go on? Do we really want to spend our tax dollars to keep nonviolent, possibly innocent people locked away?

Will you make a personal commitment to make a positive change?
