The going complaint among “American tax-payers” is that they resent having to support welfare recipients out of their hard-earned dollars and the welfare budget should be little or nothing, and rightly so, no country should have a system to support a permanent underclass. Yet, no one complains about having to support America’s overblown prison population on their tax dollars, especially when the poor, Blacks, and other minorities comprise a significant population of the prison system.
Talk about free meals, housing, and work programs, basically, some prison inmates live better lives than some people in free society. Not only has America created a permanent underclass of poverty-stricken welfare recipients, but they have also manufactured and marketed a permanent criminal underclass that in recent years has become a base for corporate operation, i.e. legalized corporate slavery.
They complain about immigrants taking jobs and getting free welfare, healthcare and other benefits on the America tax-payers dime, (which is not true), but they are ok paying much more to incarcerate minorities other than helping them find a better life. The hypocrisy is astounding and the hate is real.
“In total, roughly 1.9 million people are incarcerated in the United States, 803,000 people are on parole, and a staggering 2.9 million people are on probation, “no other society in human history has imprisoned so many of its own citizens.” The figures show that the United States has locked up more people than any other country: a half million more than China, which has a population five times greater than the U.S. Statistics reveal that the United States holds 25% of the world’s prison population, but only 5% of the world’s people.
From less than 300,000 inmates in 1972, the jail population grew to 2 million by the year 2000. In 1990 it was one million. Ten years ago there were only five private prisons in the country, with a population of 2,000 inmates; now, “Twenty-seven states and the federal government incarcerated 96,370 people in private prisons in 2021, representing 8% of the total state and federal prison population.” It is expected that by the coming decade, the number will hit 360,000, according to reports.”
The average cost per year to incarcerate an inmate in the United States, the average annual COIF for a Federal inmate in a Federal facility in FY 2019 was $35,347 ($107.85 per day), while Aid to Families with Dependent Children or public assistance recipients, 17.06% of households, receives on average $10,138 of non-cash benefit(s) annually.
With these stats, either the American government and its die-hard supporters have lost all means of common sense, or there is a blatant conspiracy to develop and maintain a permanent underclass that labors for the glory and power of the rich and select upper-middle class.
