Instead of building a new and bigger facility let's look at the why--why are people being locked up and what are the alternatives?? Other countries have come up with solutions and alternatives that we should b looking at. Does someone convicted of possession of marijuana need to b incarcerated. Should we b incarcerating the mentally ill or should we b treating them. What about those who were in the wrong place at the wrong time and committed no crime but were jailed as being an accomplice. And are we giving those we incarcerate a real chance at turning their lives around by giving them the skills and education they need to reintegrate into society when they are released. Or are we just increasing their level of anger at society. Let's rethink our prison system before we build more of them. And let's look for answers in other countries where they are more successful in not jailing people and in turning lives around for those who have been incarcerated. We must rethink how we treat them.
