Overcrowded Prisons Research Paper
Criminals are Valuable Resources It’s no surprise that the United States prison systems are overcrowded. With the elimination of the death penalty in many states the population of incarcerated Americans has quadrupled since the 1970’s. The average cost of keeping an individual behind bars is $50,000 a year. And we wonder why the government is going broke. Prisons are realistically criminal training grounds. If you put a bunch of car thieves in a cell together for three to five years, what do you think they’re going to talk about? How to get a legitimate business started? Aannnnntt. Wrong. They’re going to talk about better ways to boost cars and not get caught. Over 50% of prisoners are repeat offenders. Obviously the whole sit there and think about your actions approach isn’t working. There are

between 2.3 to 2.4 million Americans behind bars at any given time. What I don’t understand is why are we taking such a valuable resource and wasting it? I mean these are bad ass dudes and chicks. They love to hurt people and murder. So why stop them? We have over 1.4 million Americans enlisted in the military. Hard working Americans with families trying to do the right thing and make the world a safer place dying overseas. We need these people here working at jobs that will help the economy grow. But instead we take all the people who love to commit crimes and give them a warm place to sleep and free food for the rest of their lives as they waste away in prison. Or teach them better techniques to get away with criminal activities when they’re released back into society.
These are the people that we need defending our country. They don’t take shit from anyone. And have you ever seen the guys locked up? All they do is work out! They’re in amazing physical condition and have no way to use it. If you’re serving a life sentence in prison then you shouldn’t be sitting in a cell wasting my tax money. The government should take them and make them soldiers; they already have the mental capability to commit murder and violent crimes. They’ve proven that.
Prisoners should be enrolled into the military and given a weapon to do what they do best with. With the immaculate physical condition they’re in they can fight tooth and nail against the enemies of the United States for hours without breaking a sweat. Most of them have pulled off some pretty amazing crimes. Yeah their dumb asses got caught but they were still able to get the result they wanted. We can harness that knowledge to do the dirty work for us. These guys know how the criminal mind works. What better way is there to stop an assassin than to send one after them? Most Americans don’t have the thought processing capabilities these criminal possess. Instead of training skilled workers that are normal Americans to be killers. Take the born killers out of the slammer and let them do what they’re good at.
Everybody has heard countless examples of how good the united stated military is at taking delinquent men and women and changing them into respecting, obedient individuals.
I don’t see any better way to deal with this problem of overcrowded prisons. We get to keep the good hard workers here and let them have jobs that will help the economy grow, we thin out the prisons (thereby saving more money), and we get the bad guys off our streets letting them be happy terrorizing our countries enemies. They’re going to die anyway, at least this way were saving some damn money. After all, isn’t that what the American dream is all about? Being happy? Well then damn it let them be happy. If they can kill trained police officers with no formal training themselves, imagine what they could do to a pack of Taliban extremists with a little guidance form Uncle Sam! If they’re ballsy enough to rob a bank with armed guards, carrying nothing but a pocket knife, they sure as hell won’t mind storming a bunker with a fully automatic M16. That’s like giving a fat kid a candy bar, they’ll love it! But hey, that would make too much sense, and nobody likes doing things that make
sense.
