One-Third of Military Veterans Have Been Arrested. To Help, We Need to Identify Them at the...

This is just crazy in my opinion. 1/3 of military veterans have a criminal record?

The U.S. criminal system (justice system) is so corrupt. Criminals, with the exception of being behind bars and a really tall fence, have more benefits than most of those people outside the fence.

Go to jail, and pay for nothing other than the cigarettes one might smoke, and those are probably so discounted in the Prison Store, they're practically getting them for free.
Go to jail and earn your law degree or criminal justice degree for free.
Go to jail, and your rent, utilities, food, clothing, education are all free, paid for by those on the other side of the fence, who work for a living

I know most people see prison and/or jail as a place of reform. It would be really nice if that were really the case, but people are free to choose, and their are millions, if not billions of people who contribute positively to society and live life on the outside of the really tall fence topped with concertina wire on a daily basis.

My own personal opinion, prisoners should be given three basic meals a day, a cell with a very basic "single" bed, 30 minutes outside on a track so they can run if they want to, and a bible. If they can't read, then 45 minutes of story time every night with the Bible, Exodus Chapter 20, being the only thing they get to listen to. If they're not Christian, well maybe they'll finally learn how to be a good person.
