The United States has the highest amount of people incarcerated compared to any nation. This has become a major problem in the US. These rates have been raised mainly states are sending a larger amount of offenders to prison and keeping them longer. A massive amount of people have significant human effects due to incarceration as convictions put a strain on a persons ability to find a stable, decent paying job. This then creates more poverty in  multiple classes in the nation. A massive business has become of the American Political system costing a lot to tax payers.

Yes, high incarceration rates are a problem. Our prisoners are so numerous, that private companies are making big business in the prison business. Which in turn needs more prisoners to keep profits up. It’s a chattel system that is designed to keep the flow of humans high. Many people are spending years of their lives behind bars for non-violent crimes such as weed possession for a company that makes money for everyday they stay locked up.
