That formula really only works when the possibility of going to prison acts as a deterrent. World Population Review claims that "the United States leads the world in total number of people incarcerated, with more than 2 million prisoners nationwide (per data released in October 2021 by World Prison Brief). This number is equivalent to roughly 25% of the world's total prison population."
Yet we still seem to have a crime problem.
Could be our appetite for illegal drugs and their idiotic prohibition. Could be our tendency to take others to court to settle grievances that otherwise could be handled personally. I don't pretend to know why the threat of prison seems to have little effect on crime.
More prisons, less crime, not rocket science.
Leaded gas my ass.
There are more prisons and prisoners than there ever have been.
So then crime must be at its lowest ever, right?
Fun fact: Prisons didn't even exist in most of human history, dungeons and oubliettes for nobles to keep each other in notwithstanding.
Discussions of crime and punishment are best without historical context. We prefer simplistic syllogisms that play well at Bible study.
Not enough
ThatтАЩs why I favor large scale public executions.
Look around.
We have public executions every hour of the day.
Mentally ill fentanyl deaths.
It's called compassion.
WhatтАЩs more compassionate than a society that provides for the mentally ill a means to die peacefully by their own hand?
Treatment.
Yeah. But money. Got to keep making it rain on war industries.
Shut up
Dip Shit
I love you David Cashion. But national restoration sucks. Almost as much as North Carolina.

Most criminals don't commit just one crime.
While in prison they aren't for committing crimes.
Prison removes society threats.
ItтАЩs rather difficult to procreate in prison.
But it HAS been done.
Unless you're a woman with a trans cellmate.
You don't know shit, I grew up smoking diesel dope in Picayune Ms.
Cousins did the same in Freer.
Is that why you married one of them?
It worth it to race.
Also the unleaded ate valves.
Remember tuning off your car buying a coke get back in and it was still running or chugging.
Dieseling is what we called it.
Scenic Juarez. One of the best friends I ever had grew up there.
Leaded gas whatever.
Dude was for real.
