Another? We still have the kargest prison population in the world. If anything the spreading of prison culture has damaged us greatly. This is like slapping a bandaid on a bullet wound

I have no problem with criminals being locked up. It’s innocent black men getting false charges, or being harassed that’s the problem.

If you're voting yes, have some balls to come in here and explain why or how that's going to fix anything.

Because if we remove the those who are senselessly killing black people from society, that would be a welcome improvement.
How the fukk should someone with multiple violent offenses be a free citizen?

The United States already houses over 20% of the world's prison population while only making up around 4% of the world's population.
We already jail people at a higher rate than any other "first world country". How much more incarceration do we need? If you want to drastically reduce crime, then you have to start at the source. Anything else is just a band-aid solution. Gangs are absolutely a problem and should be dealt with, but they don't emerge out of nowhere, unless you believe black people are just inherently violent.

Wasn't he a gang leader who got locked up for murder?
Oh, they remixed the bootstraps argument to feed black men to the system and leave more black kids fatherless im sure it will work like it did in 94
If "the source" of a problem has been going on for decades, you do understand the solution isn't going to be the same as it was decades ago? And the remedy will be more painful than it would've been decades ago. Even if you get to the "root cause" of this problem. The solution isn't some magic wond that will make everything right overnight.. It'll take decades more to reverse..
What are you willing to do to those who doesn't accept the remedy?
A lot of innocent Black people would get swept in prison because growing up in the hood gives you no benefit of the doubt (with mass incarceration). That would be a terrible decision due to collateral damage. Corrupt cops would flood hoods to beef up their arrest records. Need more law abiding citizens policing their own neighborhoods, honest police officers and corporation from both parties working together. The issue is lack of trust and teamwork, so the criminals in Black neighborhoods run around fearless of repercussions.
