Why 'Land of The Free, Home of The Brave.' America now has staggering 7 million jailed citizens?

Question

As many people around the World continue in their amazement over the total moral and economic collapse of the American Nation, a possible new clue as to why this so was revealed this past week with the United States Department of Justice announcing the staggering rate in which their government has been jailing their own citizens, and which now stands at 7 million Americans. According to these reports, 'A record 7 million people - or one in every 32 American adults - were behind bars, on probation or on parole by the end of last year', and when these figures are added to the estimated 1 million prisoners of war held by the Untied States, all around the World, the once great American Nation has now become the greatest jailer of human beings the World has ever known.

More importantly about these numbers, however, is the debilitating effect they are having upon the American society as a whole due to the fact that these horrific numbers are a direct reflection of the Totalitarian Fascist Nation they have truly become. So draconian has life in the United States become, in fact, that their Nation's internal security police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), this past week received permission to monitor all American citizens by eavesdropping on their cell phones, and which according to these reports they are able to do even if the cell phones are turned off.

Just as devastating to the American people as the total loss of their freedoms is the economic nightmare they are now entering, and as we can read as reported by Britain's The Guardian News Service in their article titled "Plunging dollar will set world markets reeling", and which says: "The slowdown in the US economy, which has sent the dollar into freefall over the past fortnight, will have devastating knock-on effects in markets around the world, analysts warn. As the US slows, and consumers in the world's biggest economy feel the buying power of the dollar in their pocket declining, global growth will be hit hard, economists say. The greenback took yet another turn for the worse on Friday, after a survey of the US manufacturing sector showed output declining for the first time in more than three years."

It has been well said by others, that when the American War Leader Bush announced after the September 11, 2001 that the American Nation was in danger of losing its freedoms, he was more right than many of these helpless people knew, but not to any terrorist have the American people lost their freedoms, but from the actions of their own government has this been done.


Most sadly, though, about the American people of today is the effect their Totalitarian Fascist Nation is having on their most precious possessions, their children, and who have indeed turned into exactly those types of children warned about by the great British writer George Orwell, and who in his book '1984' sent these words of warnings to his American friends:

"Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it. All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children."

Answer 1

The reason for that is because we have very much incompetent and politically motivated prosecutors and judges In addition our criminal justice system is very much corrupt and worst in the world. Furthermore we have so many laws on the books which makes normal things to be illegal. Soon we will prosecute and incarcerate people which passed loud winds.

Answer 2

That's too much to read for my energy level right now, but to answer the basic question, America's politcians often campaign on a "tough-on-crime" platform. This stance requires no increase in police funding or rehabilitation efforts, but does pack our jails and prisons.

Society is becoming more draconian every day.

Answer 3

How many times are you going to ask this and have it deleted by the all-powerful Yahoo Gerbil or whatever that thing is?

I'm betting that the reason the "land of the free and the home of the brave" has a "staggering 7 million jailed citizens," though I'm betting not all of them are citizens," is because 99% of that 7 million committed a crime, got caught, and got convicted. Really, it doesn't take a rocket scientist or a long rant to figure that one out.

Answer 4

ONE of them WOULD be the avitar face in your question in a more just world.... as would Dictator Dumbya be wearing the orange jumpsuit. China and "The Kingdom" have even more petty reasons for harsh (and fatal) punishment (to be fair about it). The Saudis at least "pardoned" the rape victim today. But there is no longer a reason for the USA to brag about the fairness of its justice system.

Answer 5

America is done. There is absolutely nothing good and humane left of Good Old USA. Even so called "mighty" $ is turned in to the worthless paper. What is next?

Answer 6

Keep publishing these lies we love that and hope you continue. Because everyone keeps jumping over walls to get into this country. If you don't want to be a prissioner of war then my suggestion to you is don't plan a bomb attack?
But keep up the hate messages, because people who live here and work here know better and we don't want any more foreigners.

Answer 7

USA is NOT ok! Too many incredibly stupid, ignorant and uneducated idiots plus millions of useful idiots. You people deserve president as George Bush because you are his true reflection.

Answer 8

US became a true police state. I cant stop wondering how ignorant and stupid people can be. No wonder they voted for Fascist Bush twice.

Answer 9

There is a lack of law enforcement in the US. As a result crime increases and the number of those in jail increase. There also is a lack of knowledge and opportunity for this in the lower class about how to move into the middle class. Same applies for the middle class to the upper class.

Answer 10

I was going to start my answer by saying that yes, we indeed need to re-visit our drug laws...

Until I read the rest of your nonsensical screed.

Littering your diatribe with "fascist", "totalitarian" and "draconian" is ironic, considering you're projecting this tripe to a worldwide audience without fear of repercussion.

Or is this small detail lost on you?
