Ship the prisoners off to the colonies. Oh Wait...
According to here:
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?ID=12
The U.K. has 26% of its working age population out of work and an official 7.0 percent unemployment rate. Now, I am not saying the U.S. is doing great at generating jobs either but if there were more jobs than less people would be committing crimes. Not sure just locking everyone up is the solution. Yeah, the seriously violent should go through prison programs but those programs should be aimed at rehabilitation and not simply incarceration. They would need jobs afterwards as well to get off the government role.
If you're going to rethink for the future, just build people warehousing facilities a.k.a prisons is not the answer. All prisons create these days is tougher and more dangerous criminals. This is what I tell my elected officials and others. Hopefully one day they'll listen.
