It's more like she tripped over a law. What most govts do in aggregate looks insane. There are worse cases though.

It seems the US imprisons more people per capita than any other country on this earth. There are many other ways to deal with with people breaking laws or committing crimes. I find it a little exaggerated and very spooky!!

So stumble has gone to fruits & nuts
The poignant fack is that there are bad people out their what should we do with them should their be no discipline , should we just let them jeopardize the rest of us?? When a schizophrenic person comes to your door you will be glad we have laws and prisons

4-I have read that even recently there has been construction of detainment facilities with regards to "the illegal immigration crisis" (and we are talking about millions of places) With funding wars and imprisoning millions there wont be much tax money left in America to do very much else!!

5-the point i see here is we want the 'danger to society' folks locked up. it's a wast of taxpayer-funded space to lock up steroid abusers when that spot could hold a pedophile, armed-robber, or terrorist.

5- Schizophrenia is a metal medical condition....prison will do absolutely nothing to help someone afflicted with this horrible condition (will probably make em even crazier) Punishment does mostly NOT rehabilitate people.

7-I agree and my point too!! and don't forget George Bush !!!

6: REX 84 is from the Reagan years. It's like they expected the "immigration" crisis.
