I think I could get behind that,wolfy42. Something needs to be done about prisons for sure.

Prisons are a nightmare on every level at this point. We are heading towards 40k per person per year now (average, more in some places less in others), and what is worse, that is lost money (IE, not put into circulation, taxed etc).

You could give 10k a year to 4 people, for every person in prison right now. That would all be taxable (over the base deductions) and the money would be spent on things (That are in turn taxed etc) and bolster the economy.

So basically if the take the inmate out (still giving him $10k as well though), that is 3 more people that can get $10k a year.

Obviously not all inmates could be released, but if only the really dangerous ones where kept (and even they where put into a prison that let them generate income, produce...since they wouldn't be as crowded anymore), you could seriously make things way better for everyone.

No reason prisons (if you have far less inmates) can't actually generate income and even pay for themselves mostly. You just can't do it with the massive populations we have in this country.
