You still haven't shown that overincarceration is actually a problem in any meaningful sense. The solution could just as easily be to open more courts.

- vacri 14y agoThere already is too little money for courts (and the prisons the subsequent influx of prisoners are going to need), so where is it going to come from? It's pointless, really, because if you honestly don't think that overincarceration is 'actually a problem', then you're so one-eyed that nothing I say will sway you.
- 3143 14y agoThere are stories all the time about prisons being run for profit. If the prison industry is profitable, perhaps it can be made profitable enough to pay for more courts as well. More prisons would of course be a net gain rather than a loss.
- vacri 14y agoWho is it that you think pays for the prisons that are profitable? Who is their customer? I mean, you're saying here that somehow the state would get more money back from the private prisons than they paid them, so they could spend this surplus on courts?
- 3143 14y agoI have no idea. If the state is the customer, who is running the prisons? (And why are prisons allowed to be run by a non-state entity?)
