So, is the US that great a country? Let's talk about the prison system here. The state send prisinors to for-profit prisons. The state pays a lump sum, and the prisons fill up. But, if the state doesn't fill the prisons up, they don't get a deal for thier money. So, they make highly unfair laws, and make up the difference by arresting poor people who can't afford a good attorney, and making them go to jail. Like, I was reading something about a man, who's a war vet btw, who 15 years ago got charged with petty theft. Then, last year, he stole some DVDs, and got caught twice. Apparently, he did it to give gifts to his family. Anyway, he got 50 years in prison, a feasably life sentance. The man is 78.
