United States Prison System
Part 1

The United States has the largest prison population in the world. (2.3 million people) To put things in perspective, China has 1.3 billion people and the US has 310 million people. China has 1.6 million people incarcerated. People often say, China just executes everyone, that is not true. In China, crime is a disgrace on the family and in some studies, they have a high suicide rate because people can't handle disrespecting their family. No matter the reasons, the US needs to fix its broken prison system.
We need prisons. Prisons have a purpose. We need to hold people accountable and take dangerous people off the streets, but rehabilitation has to be a major component of incarceration. Sadly, the US fails miserably on who is incarcerated and rehabilitation.
I was in prison for eleven years, and deservingly so, but people do change. I have firsthand knowledge and experience on ways to fix a broken prison system known around the world as the worst prison system in the free world. A black eye on the greatest country on the planet. The real question is, do the powers that be, WANT to fix the prison system?
In Part 2, we will address how the prison system works.

Famous Quotes You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.
- Mary Pickford

There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.
- Napoleon Hill

When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us! Our hate is not hurting them at all, but our hate is turning our own days and nights into a hellish turmoil.
- Dale Carnegie

That which you hate to be done to you, do not do to another.
- Ancient Egyptian Proverb
