The prison system creates chaos enternally as well. Most of my friends (US citizens) have been to jail for atleast one night and we are all good people that have made tiny mistakes. But, the US system is to lock u up and take your money until u prove you innocence or slip up again. Then after youve been in the system good luck finding a respectable job. What do people do when they are broke with no job?.... Turn into hardcore criminals. Excessive imprisonment creates criminals instead of rehabilitating.
