Criminal systems are fucked and a whole nother ball of wax. When the people they hurt in society are struggling to put food on the table and a roof over their heads when they rob them in their homes, yet they are put away and get meals, entertainment and a roof over their head free of charge… shits fucked. from what I see, this country would be AWESOME-ER if the jails went from 2 star resorts to hell holes like Russian prisons that run on Roman noodles and concrete pillows. ---

Start coming up to them and telling them the trade secret of the prison high life! Better yet, write a book and sell it to them.

Theres fake bums all around here too like the one that stands in front of Northway Mall. He was wearing different clothes today than he had on Sunday and they all look clean.
