Texas Prisons Stop Serving Lunch On Weekends

They'd save a whole lot more if they'd stop incarcerating people who commit victimless crimes.

Or, and this finger can be pointed to a lot of places, they'd spend a whole lot less on prisons if they would actually fund education and have a school system that actually prepared people to be responsible adults so less people turned to crime.

That they would. Absolutely.

But you have to remember; educated people are harder to control and lead around like sheep.

Amen. Having worked in prisons, I know first hand they are little more than warehouses for people. They dehumanize and teach a culture of violence that comes out with the person when they are released. It really shouldn't be wondered that justice is a "revolving door." And it can happen to anyone.

Or also, sent people to rehab to treat their addictions (a major driver of modern crime)

But you have to remember; educated people are harder to control and lead around like sheep.

Scary thought, that.
