Locked Up In America

The majority in the United States is White. Yet the majority serving time in jail are minorities.

The jails are filled with African-American men who are serving time for non-violent crimes. The USA is said to have a prison based economy that creates billions of dollars a year.

The problem with jails in America they breed violence and are warehouses for young blacks who simply learn better hustles from more seasoned inmates.

Styles P said it best "why they stop letting inmates get degrees in jail". Jails are not bringing about rehabilitation but instead creating a more criminally educated inmate.

It take about 40 million a to jail someone for a year. I believe that taxpayers should get a return on their money. And finally when a inmate is released he has a hard time finding a job because of his record. I believe that federal and state government could hire ex-offenders who desire to work.
