The jails in the US are privatiized. In most contracts with the goverment its stated if the state doesnt prrovide enough inmates the state needs to pay a penalty to the Prison for making loses...

Also, Cuban style. Cuba genuinely reforms their prisoners rather than warehouse and enslave them.

Like he said. This guy made a failure. So society he can become a better Person.

Doesn't seem like he is a criminal by profession or living to do crimes.

German way maybe is not perfect but at least we believe in resocialization for minor crimes.

I read somewhere you can even invest in a prison? Wtf. Also I saw a Video about the tent jail arizona. America is crazy and scary in some ways

Do not commit a crime that makes the judges ( for serious crimes it is a "Grand Punishment Chamber" of a presiding judge, two assistent judges and two layman judges who act as consultants*) state the "extraordinary amount of guilt" in your action. That means life that is a life sentence. Another precaution in our system against someone who is regarded as a permanent danger to society is the option to send that person into some kind of lunatic asylum after his/her time has been done for years to come, maybe forever.

I'm from Cincinnati. 41 yes old. I'm charged with carjacking, but it's really a simple car theft. I was "arrested" by firefighters unlawfully, but judge barrett ignored my 4th amendment claim.

I went to trial and was convicted by an all white jury, 17 yr sentence.

My case is not really a federal case. Vindictive prosecution. I've been gone since May 2012. I have a 10yr old son.

No one was hurt in my case. No property damage. The judge continually coached the prosecutor. I've been fighting from the law library by myself for 8 yrs. I learned about bitcoin in 2017 reading THE INTERNET OF MONEY by Andreas Antonopoulos and I created a class to teach other prisoners. I've also completed more than 25 education and re-entry courses during my time in prison.

I transferred to a new prison 6 months ago because my dad has STAGE 4 lung cancer because he couldn't travel to visit. The prisoners in this new prison have a way of smuggling in cell phones. Three months ago my mother hit the lottery and paid a fellow prisoner here $1, 000 for this used smartphone that I have.

Two months ago I joined Facebook to create a group to continue educating people about bitcoin technology and I'm now up to 267 members, single-handedly. The name of my group is NEW MONEY: REVOLUTION

Now they need to take the step to realize that playing basketball in college isn't a job...
