Not only Are people being arrested for petty crimes are being arrested to fill prisonsSo that they can make money off of the prisoners. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1661073 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1661073 As a country We should be working towards a lowering the rate of prisoners rather than having the rate continue to Get higher. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 10:52:12 -0400 I agree, people are put in to jail for petty crimes and overcrowding has become a big problem. Sentencing can be unfair. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1660912 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1660912 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 12:56:59 -0400 The United States incarcerates so many people. Yet the rates continue to go up by year. It destabilizes homes and families. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1660835 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1660835 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 15:00:30 -0400 Eliminating the barriers that former inmates have to deal with after being released from prison. Would be very helpful to them because it also helps them be reintroduced to society as well as help them find their setting to not land back in prison. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1660667 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1660667 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 14:51:20 -0400 Californina is beung a leader and other states should follow in their footsteps. People should not have to go away for a long time due to a small crime https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1660631 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1660631 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 14:41:56 -0400 People of color Make up 37% of the world's population. This percentage does not tell me how much of the population is black. Because people of color is not the same as being black especially when it comes to treatment. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1653108 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1653108 Black americans are 6x more likely to be inprisoned than white americans. This is true because their is a sterotype around black people that law enforcemnet looks to black americans first. And upon these black americans not all have done the crime they are to go to prison for but they fit the bill. Tue, 17 Mar 2020 17:39:25 -0400 People already see african americans a minority and dont treat them fairly. So having a record added to that doesnt make it better for anyone but as a black person you feed into the stereotype. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1652973 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1652973 When mass incarceration happens a majority of the time it is black americans being imprisoned for something little or big. But once they are imprisoned for this to get a job later on their chances are significantly decreased. Which can land them back in jail. Going to jail takes away rights of the people and forever puts a target on their back. Fri, 20 Mar 2020 17:57:04 -0400 The United States makes up so little of the world's population yet we have the highest incarceration rates. Not only do we have the highest rates but after going to jail theres not much to be done once you are out because that forever stays on record. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1652870 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1652870 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:10:47 -0400 The criminal parent that has gone unpunished would most likely have the most detrimental effect on their child. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1652462 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1652462 The parent who is in prison would have a kid who would see that their are consequences ro their actions. But a child with parents that have criminal behavior can see it as being able to get away with eventually leading to them getting caught. And being sent to prison and the cycle would go on Tue, 17 Mar 2020 11:04:01 -0400 Limiting the resources availiable is a way the government keeps power over these people. Because after prison it is made harder to get a job. Convicts are more likely to do a crime and get back in jail. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1652213 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1652213 This should change becasue what is happening now in no way helps the incarcerated people Wed, 18 Mar 2020 23:34:04 -0400
