No, wouldn't quite say that. There are some moderate conservatives that have some liberal views but there are some very conservative conservatives that want everything according to the Bible. Same goes for liberals. Not all liberals are the same either. There are some moderate liberals with conservative views, but there are also some very liberal liberals that are triggered by just about everything.

Do you remember the whole red Starbucks cup controversy last year? That's basically where it all started.

No my point is, if the instructor requests a hard copy, even if they scan it to check word count, the white font isn't going to matter. It isn't going to count because it's not visible to the scanner on hard copy. It only works if you submit it online because the word processor will have the word count available and count those white font words.

I think there's a vehicle by Ford that has a motion sensor in the back, under the car to open the hatch or trunk when your hands are full

Another thing with prison privatization is that they're contracted with the government for the government to give them prisoners to house. They charge the government more money if beds aren't filled in these prisons. So there's a motive to get as many people locked up in these prisons so the government doesnt have to pay for empty beds.

I really enjoyed it. Found it to be very eye opening.

Media may tell you we have a higher crime rate than before, but crime rate depends on what we criminalize. And right now, we throw people in prison for 5 plus years for small things that don't even matter.
I may not have gotten my point across clearly. I was actually waiting for class to start when I wrote my original post on my phone. So I'm sorry if you misunderstood my point.

The point of the post is that we built more prisons than we do universities. Famousone said that we build more prisons because we have a high crime rate. The reason we have more prisons is because we criminalize tiny drug offenses and nonviolent offenses.

I didn't say crime is caused by police brutality. I said the reasons we have more prisons is because we mass incarcerate, not because we actually have a high crime rate.

The post is specifically talking about California prisons. However, you mentioned "most prisons" and didn't specify federal or state. I just gave you a statistic on federal prisons. Perhaps most state prisons are private, but I can't seem to find a statistic from an accurate source on that, nor have my classes talked much about state prisons like we have federal prisons.

Me too. We watched it in my CRJ Ethics class and we had like a big discussion about it for an entire class meeting.

Actually most federal prisons are still operated by the government. Less than 10% of federal prisons are privately owned and operated. However, I can't seem to find a legit statistic on amount of private state prisons.

There's a documentary on Netflix called 13th that goes into depth about the mass prison incarceration, specifically in regards that it is primarily made up of african americans and hispanics, who are also primarily incarcerated due to drugs.

Literally drug offenses make up roughly 50% of the US prison population. There are violent offenders that are incarcerated but the rate for crimes like murder are much lower than minor drug offenses. While police brutality is big in the media, there are hardly any incarcerated for it. Keep in mind the US has the highest prison population of more than 2 million

No its not because of a higher crime rate. Its because we lock people up for tiny drug offenses for 10 plus years. We throw people in jail for years when it doesn't actually change anything and they just recommitt. Corrections system is extremely inefficient. It doesn't focus on helping offenders get their life back on track. Instead we let them rot in a cell and tell them they're a disgrace to society just because they had a tiny bag of pot in their pocket.
I'm majoring in criminal justice and this, along with police brutality, is one of the main topics discussed in almost every class.
