Guess who makes up the fastest-growing demographic in prison

The fastest-growing demographic in American prisons might surprise you. But what might surprise you even more is their recidivism rate being less than 1-4 %! ✍🏼

Mandatory Minimums are actually INCREASING in Iowa, and there's NO Compassionate Release Program of any kind. She turned several Misdemeanors into Felonies.. and is thinking of reinstating the Death Penalty. She took away pretty much all background checks, and licenses to carry, and drive through cocktails are permanently legal now, but somehow not an open container. People used to pick up their families to move here especially for our education system, but it's now no better than many other places, and are already archaic policies are only growing. Some Pardon and Clemency applications were signed 15 years ago, yet they've not even been touched. They just keep passing them on to the next person.. This is all the result of having red in office for far too long. We're used to being the last in the country when it comes to acquiring new technology, trends, restaurants, etc but that doesn't mean we should be regressing instead of progressing. Our state IS prosecuting for abortions.. and not just the mother. She'll stand on stage bragging about the economy, but then be 1 of only a couple states that denied paying $40/mo to ensure children have food over the summer, when not in school. We have a lot of hungry families here. They rely on school for breakfast and lunch. Without this program, many children will be extremely malnourished by the time the next school year comes around. $40/MONTH?!? Yet, she continues to find the funds to fly with her staff to TX on regular occasions, to stick her nose in the immigration mess going on. Although, it's difficult for her not to do a lot of things, because her lips are permanently attached to Trump's a$$.

I would agree with you, however, under Biden and his DOJ the numbers and types of Crimes made up are ever increasing. An example par excellento is the arena of the ATF and its numerous assaults on the 2nd Amendment targeting other wise "Law Abiding Citizens" If the trend continues, against all areas of The Bill of Rights, then you and I and the rest of the Citizenry will have to either consult an Attorney prior to the simplest activity, or have a 10K List of the years Newest Laws and Edicts which will send one to Prison, that did not exist at all 10 - 20 - 30 years ago.

Just because their old, why should they be let go. Prison is about punishment, not 'making sense'. They comitted some crime worthy of long sentences, probably at the expense of someone no longer alive, or unable to live their life to the fullest. If you wish to reduce prison populations, then let's talk about expanding the use of capital punishment and drasticall reducing the time between sentencing and execution.

[@vikramadoddamani]

Love your upbeat attitude. But I believe while comparing historical data you should consider whether the proportion of old people within prisons has changed instead of actual numbers. And you need to break down the data into types of crimes convicted for and then analyse. Doing so you should be able to zero-in on the exact policy which is causing claimed problem. And I believe mandatory minimums is a good thing as it guards against too much subjectivity. One should consider decreasing them, if they are unjustifiably high. 😊 Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@user-zw2bw1nd3x]

So what is the ratio between older criminals being sent to jail vs how many criminals got old in jail? Older? Starts at what age? What is the older crowd going to jail for? I'm betting new or returning 55+ prisoners going to jail is much lower than how many started as young guys, but 25 to life later, now they are old in prison. What dies it cost society to keep these old guys in prison vs the cost to give them services (food, housing, Healthcare, welfare, etc) on the outside? If costs are about the same to taxpayers for each old person, keep them in prison, the life expectancy us shorter there. I don't see many 55+ going to jail for mugging, assault, bar brawls. Most older folks not dealing drugs, because most users have unalived themselves somehow from the drugs or the lifestyle. My hometown newspaper shows more older folks going in for fraud, child support, drunk driving, crimes against children, shooting someone, etc. Things not taking physicality. And there are way fewer older folks listed in the crime blotter than young punks. Cool to say there is a problem, and it's expensive, but there is so much more data that needs collected to find solutions. I have a policy that would help with overcrowding in prisons! Let prisoners opt for execution. We are holding a firing squad next Tuesday. If we have any volunteers, please talk to your doctor or chaplin to sign up. If we get enough interest we will open other dates! Please fill out the questionnaire about any alternate methods you think should be offered: hanging, hypothermia, drowning, electric chair, hemlock? Results will be on the bulletin board next month.....😂

They need to keep your prison system running at capacity for it to turn a profit. Your prisoners are in indentured servitude, they actually carry out economic functions in an economic system that uses millions of people as "effective" unpaid Labour. If they weren't then someone else would have to be paid to do it. The USA has the highest incarceration rates in the world per capita, because it's an economic engine. Goods turned out at low cost, guaranteed. Private enterprise is no fool, incarcerated cheap Labour, haven't you figured it out yet?

About that "mandatory" 85 percent of the sentence being served in the Federal system-the Qanon Shaman, Jacob Chansley, was sentenced to 41 months, got himself into some halfway house programs and was done with his sentence after 27 months. That's over a third of his sentence that was dropped. So much for the "mandatory 85 percent minimum".

The reason they are not letting older people out is because the younger population keep going back like a revolving door and THAT means more money for d.o.c. and the county that filed the case...new case= more money.
