This country is disgusting with the way they are making money by locking people up in these institutions for non violent crimes, so that the prison corporation system profits. I’ve seen cases in which local judges get kick backs if they also a hefty sentence on numerous people. Of course, it’s usually the poor and non- Caucasian male who is the easiest target. It’s a shame and disgrace for humanity. If someone does a violent crime, they should be punished for what they have done. But, if they’re willing to participate in some kind of rehabilitation program and become a useful member of society, that should be happening more often than just throwing away the key; while the CEO’S of these corporations are breaking white collar crimes every day. This is about the worst time that I have ever seen in the United States. Greedy politicians lie and cheat, and yet people are so brainwashed by them, they actually believe that these people are Christian people. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing and will do or say anything to get into office and then they forget about the people who put them there.

Don’t really see how building more prisons help the overcrowding situation if you’re just going to build new ones to vacate the old ones. Prison is big business obviously, that’s the only logical explanation I can come up with as to why they just won’t release people. I’m pretty sure that non violent cases make up more than 50% of the prison population. Drug and property charges don’t necessarily have me shaking with fear in my boots . Concerning people with violent cases… Yes, they deserve to be punished and accept their sentence, but they also deserve help. Not all people who broke the law are bad people. Some just made bad decisions. How about you take some of that money and invest in actual programs that help these inmates. How about programs when they get out to insure that they won’t make those mistakes again. Obviously this is not to help the prisoners nor the tax paying public but this smoke screen and effort to seemingly satisfy the public while keeping their pockets fat. Alabama government is a joke smh. Where are the feds when you need them?

How is building two new prisons going to stop the prison over carousing situation.You have people in there that has been locked up for fifty years and keep gett2 denied every time they go up for parole.When is enough to.e is enough.Start letting people out that has clear records and have re habilitated them selves.Because the prison system is corrupt as the rest of our government in Alabama.locking peopl2 up and throwing away the key is backwoods thinking and dose not work.So y’all need to get y’alls head out of the sand.
