bed space for everyone in jail as it is, at
least that is a problem here in California.
But they have NOT built any new prisons for a
long time now and some political leaders say that it
is time to build more prisons and courtrooms. |
Politicians will gladly build more prisons and courtrooms, provided they have protection from ever ending up in them. I don't think prison has too many redeeming traits to speak of, though one could find something redeeming about damn near anything. For example, some will see the very existence of prisons as a sign that "the system is working." This attitude has prevailed for a long time now which partly explains the drive to build more prisons and courtrooms. And more laws come with them, of course.
