- 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 %! ✍🏼

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
If those stupid prizes are inefficient and ineffective ways of dealing with social ills, maybe stupid prizes just describe stupid policies.
They are paid to keep people in prison. No wonder they prefer to keep the more secure ones. Who would want to be stabbed at work? From their point of view, it is a win-win situation.
Many of these people have been serving life sentences for years. To be expected. Should we let them out? Their victims, if they were still around, probably wouldn't agree.
Capital punishment might be the solution for the worst of them. ie, within a month or so. Instead of years or decades of appeals.
@@mattr.1887 how many people have been convicted of such an offense who are then released later when new evidence is uncovered? Are you willing to be tried for their murder, since you called for it, if later evidence exonerates them?
There’s just no need to kill anybody. There’s enough food, housing, and medicine for everyone. If you’re calling for that, it’s not because feeding an incarcerated person actually takes food from someone else’s mouth. The people exploiting everyone else to enrich themselves are the only ones taking inordinately. The government has no right to kill people when it’s not absolutely necessary to do so. If it takes someone else’s death for you to feel whole, that’s on you to deal with. It should not be the state’s role to appease your bloodlust.
Hey, if prisions are privately owned then why are tax payers footing the bill?
Because that's where the money is; tax payers are the only people who work and create actual value.
Because reducing crime and mass incarceration means addressing economic inequality, and America requires an economic underclass to function.
Did the old people being arrested actually commit a crime, or were they just on the wrong property at the wrong time several years ago? Grandma walks between some velvet ropes 3 years ago, and the FBI raids her house at 2am like she's Pablo Escobar...
They probably committed a crime of not paying their taxes on time ...
Cops are lazy ,fat ,and stupid .

Shit. I'm going to rob bank when I get old. Go to federal prison and get healthcare and housing for free.

Thank you democrats.
Contracting out the prisons plays a part in this.
It plays a BIG part. Make a guess which group funds the activists who push for longer sentences. I'll give you a hint: It's the private prison system. They pay money to legislators, and in turn they get more inmates. And it doesn't really matter whether they are high risk or low risk anymore. The only thing important is filling those cells with long-term inmates who can't be paroled - which means a permanent revenue stream for the private prisons. And nobody cares - until it affects someone in their own family. And then it's too late.
If you commit a felony you should be in jail. This no prison time attitude is why New York is a dump and so is San Francisco. Age is not an issue. You’re a criminal go to jail.
Tell that to Donald tRump
@@hellstromcarbunkle8857 I'd prefer to tell that to Alvin Bragg, Juan Merchan, and Eric Adams.
@@toservemind All of whom did their jobs as defined by the laws of New York. Wow, that was easy.
Sounds good, until you follow the money trail and discover the biggest source of law and order funds is actually the private prison system. Just a coincidence, right? Right?
It is an Open-Air Plantation. If the subjects cannot see the fence, out of sight, out of mind.
Whatever happened to accepting the consequences of your own actions? Cry me a river. I'm old. Never been to prison. Never going to do anything to send me to prison. What's so hard to understand about that? I ain't buying your bleeding heart diatribe. This ain't rocket science.
These aren’t just the consequences of their actions but the consequences of our attitudes toward justice and our indifference toward the roots of criminality. We have the responsibility to carefully consider if this is actually what a good justice system does, to identify the collateral consequences of our policies, and to consider if these policies are actually effective at preventing crime. You can call this being a bleeding heart, but you’re equally guided by emotion. It’s emotion without intellect that results in draconian policies that only compound the social ills they’re supposed to treat though. If you’re not curious about the problem and only have moralistic platitudes to offer, you’re not coming from a place of reason.
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?
I disagree. The money spent to incarcerate prisoners isn't cost effective. It drains state/federal funds....but it's worth it if we want safe communities.
@@sagatuppercut2960 your prisons are privatised so they are running on a profit basis, the prison makes money, the government pays private enterprise. The government doesn't profit, that's not what I said. It's not the point I'm making either.
Your legal system (legal not justice) is incentivised to keep a sufficient population to keep the prison system profitable, otherwise they don't make money, they don't run the business and your government then needs to build prison and run them at their own expense and subject to scrutiny from the public. Far easier to put that on an independent external business venture.
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.....😂
Do not mess with old people! Life in prison could be less than one year.
Lololololol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you should really go back and re read some facts…. You sound like your feelings are fueling your ideas like women normally do.
"Way longer than we used to lock people up." I seem to remember that execution was used much more liberally when I was younger. I wonder if this is related?
It's actually not, to any great degree. The biggest problem is the private prison system which sends money to legislators to convince them to make everything a felony and fill those beds.
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.
You got it partially right: prisons are part of the correctional system. Your answer also explains why the prison population is expanding as you've completely forgotten about the corrective part of the system and the re-integration of those released back into society.
if they are let out early who's going to take care of them? If one prison guard can take care of 100 prisoners, if let out early, it would take multiple support teams to take care of 100 homeless.
If you want to solve the problem of homelessness, you need to build more houses, not prisons ...
You're such a compassionate person.
@@xys0077 so build homes for drug addicts and the mentally ill?
If I hear the term make it make sense one more time .
A lot of these are lifers that committed horrible crimes when they were much much younger. Well life means eventually that inmate will be elderly some day. Non violent offenders? Fine. Lifers who are in for something like murder? No.
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 👍🏼
Don't piss us older people off.
The older we get, the less a life prison sentence becomes a deterrent. FJB!
Like she really cares, I am so cringed out when people these days pretend like they actually care and go on a virtue signaling rant about it. Its just so mental.
Like your virtue signaling rant?
"Make it make sense". Ok. States have signed contracts with privately run prisons to maintain a minimum occupancy rate and the "law enforcement" side of the Prison Industrial Complex has found some easy marks to keep those beds filled. They don't care what it costs because that's a different bucket of money.
Someone who actually gets it! Thumbs UP!

Welcome to corperate america .😢
Sad but true.
Actually, most prisons are private now days. And the first priority for a private corporation is to increase their revenue stream by convincing politicians to make the laws every more stringent. It works fine, up until it's people like you, your friends, and your parents who are going to jail for decades for minor crimes.
Don’t do crimes you won’t go to prison
That's only kinda, mostly true. Even being rich and famous is no guarantee that they won't try to make you into their next new license plate machine operator.
@@mbblegb mmm well I think most people if you don’t do crimes you won’t go to jail. Let’s say 99.9%
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.

Sooooo.... don't be a criminal and the whole issue goes away! The problem isn't the system. The problem is the people in it.
Not always. A lot of bad cops being abusive. Bad DA'S. Bad Judges. Liberal mindsets. Too many people are corrupt.
Also there is an incentive to keep the prisons full. Stocks and many companies have invested interest in some prisons.
A whole system of making money from prisons and this needs to stop.
The problem is actually the private prison system.
If their in prison its not because the outstanding members of their community lady . They committed a serious crime . Go spend a week in a prison and if you survive let us know what you think .
If only the world worked the way you think it does.
@@Quakeboy02 It doesn't matter what you or I think , "that's just the way it is " A lower sentence is never appropriate , just ask the victim .
@@whip-its_dad4239 The problem is that when you go down that road, literally everyone winds up in jail.
All you people are about equity until it doesn't go the way you want. Older people are the largest age demographic right now. Stop being mad about equal representation. You fought for it. You got. You suddenly don't like equality?
The problem is that we now have a private prison system which is allowed to spend money on legislators who favor higher fixed prison sentences regardless of age or risk of recidivism. And it's no surprise that things that used to be minor misdemeanors are now felonies.

@@sagatuppercut2960 Whatcha gonna do when they come for you? Can't happen? I have some bad news for you. Ten Percent of all criminals serving time in prison didn't commit the crime they are serving time for. Best hope you're never in that 10%, huh?
You neglect to state the crimes the elder committed? Shoplifting? Writing a bad check? The old guy who was drunk and rammed into the nail salon killing 4 people? The old man who shot and killed an innocent woman making an Amazon delivery? If a person isn't committing any crime why would the police target them? This is a really dumb little video void of context.
Republicans??
Mexes.
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".
Taking a tour with security as tour guides one would believe no prison time would be appropriate. But hey, liberals and commies look at things slightly askew.

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.
The reason they're not letting people out is because the government has contracted to pay for X number of beds in the private prison system, and those beds will damned well be filled, regardless of the cost to the citizens.
