Why prisons continue to grow, even when crime declines
Stop throwing people in jail for &quot;moral crimes&quot; such as drug use, and we&#x27;d see a massive decline. Victimless crimes, such as contempt of court for not being &quot;respectful&quot; enough of a sitting judge, or the like should never send you to a cage either. One could make a massive list of the ridiculous uses of our criminal justice system, and sadly many don&#x27;t see it as a problem.
