And my answer to your question JJ is once again:
Look at Switzerland - Look at what they do and how they do it.

Tip: stop immigration. Half of the crimes in Switzerland was comitted by foreigners.
Switzerland = King

Just goes to show that you are clueless. I mean, just use your brain and think about the wisdom of
a) allowing everyone to own firearms and
b) allowing slums to grow and fester
c) forbidding the trade of recreational drugs and sex.

Of course, immigration CAN lead to crimes, if you let immigrants fall into slums as well. The problem isn't immigrants, but SLUMS - large groups of people totally not integrated into society, which immigrants and refugees may sink into if you just leave them to themselves. Switzerland has strict MONEY-and JOB-oriented immigration laws, which is of course a way to avoid slums, but by no means the only one.

Hint: Look at the drug laws in Switzerland.

real quick and only partially educated response to your question JJ

Jailing people here is a money maker for a lot of people.. I choose not to elaborate speaking as only partially informed, but I will say that every county jail, state penitentiary, wether private or whatever the case may be, makes more than a mediocre motel charges daily for someone to stay there.

This is not just to Ebonheart but also everybody else who's not doing it. Can you guys please use the link button while giving one, so we can simply click-open them. It's not much of a big deal when you're on a computer but selecting and copy/pasting the link on a tablet or phone can be a real pain in the ass sometimes.

It's very easy to answer your question. Look at the ones who has the lowest crime rates world wide and copy what they are doing, because obviously they must do something different.

Honestly, it's a very simple concept. Even a 7 year old child understands this.
So, why can't you?
As for the links: I can, but I am too lazy cause too used to WoW links.

Lol. Sociology never works that way. Something that works perfectly under X conditions may backfire under Z conditions. Switzerland and US are vastly different countries in almost every aspect imaginable.

Hillary Context from March 10 2015
Comey Context from July 5 2016

Transcribing from this video
(Paraphrased yet precise)

Hillary "I did not email any classified material to anyone, there is no classified material"
Comey "110 emails, 52 email chains contained information that were classified at the time of sending and recieving "

Hillary "I provided all of my emails that could possibly be work related"
Comey "there were several thousand work related emails, that were not among the 30,000 she provided"

Hillary "I thought using one device would be simpler"
Comey "She used numerous devices to send and read email "

Hillary "There were no security breaches"
Comey "It is possible that hostile parties gained access to Hillarys email account"
(conflict in comeys words here)
Hillary "It was my practice to communicate with the state department and government officials on their .gov account"
Comey "Hostile actors gained access to private commercial email accounts of people whom Clinton was in regular contact with from her personal account "
(we all know she was hacked)
Hillary "No doubt that we have done exactly what we should have done"
Comey "They were extremely careless in their handling of highly sensitive classified information"

Yes and you can turn that argument on itself by saying that because of said effects of X and Z you can never do anything and never expect certain results or claim A gun law is the cause of B shootings.

We can argue about this for an eternity about the pros and cons of it. I belong to the side who believes that you look at those with a working concept and copy/pick the raisins out of the cake of their concept.

In some cases, you can pick the raisins indeed but criminal activity in U.S. and Switzerland is as different as, say, students in Denmark and Iran. So advising similar education policies would be illogical.

It depends, but I do realise that you and I are not getting anywhere in our discussions. All you have managed to prove to me is that you are a leftwinger with the convictions of a fanatic.
And most likely in your eyes, I am the same thing but on the other side.

Since we do not come anywhere I propose we both just ignore eachother from now on. /Ignored.

As for you Artu, you are certainly correct. Alas, what do you propose one does if one can't look at working concepts to find inspiration there? Just experiment and hope for something good?

You don't seem to understand that it isn't a question of "proper jailing" but a question of crime prevention.
I mean, if you'd make laws handing out prison sentences for using the f-word in public, you'd not make sure language get less profane, but instead make sure, everyone becomes a criminal sooner or later and your prisons would fill.

Also - if you have vast slums and a certain percentage of people living basically outside of your "normal" society, prohibiting things there's a high demand for is simply creating a lot of dangerous jobs promising a lot of money and status, coming with the price of living outside of the law, but that's where they live anyway, so what?

Interestingly enough, a lot of people in the US are seeing that when WEAPONS are concerned. Prohibiting firearms IN THE CURRENT USA (that is, with the existing problems) won't reduce the amount of firearms coursing in the public or gun-related violence; it will just create new "jobs" and increase the market price per piece.

However, they don't see it when it comes to sex and drugs, even though they had a test run with the prohibition, and that's why their prisons are full. Silly laws are creating career opportunities for the dregs of society (instead of the government taking control of the market and decriminalizing it).

In fact, the US declared "War on drugs" (and are at war with Sex as long as they exist), and they've lost that war and suffer the consequences, although they still try to maintain the illusion they'd still be in the fight. Declaring that war in the first place was a really silly decision. It's as silly and hopeless as the war against homosexuality that is led with boot camps and brainwashing operations. Completely and utterly stupid.


http://www.vox.com/2016/3/22/11278760/war-on-drugs-racism-nixon

also, as has already been said, in america prisons are businesses.  in general, local governments receive about 70 dollars a day from the federal government for each inmate they have, and they cost only a fraction of that.  and every business has a target consumer..

None of this is news. The poor folks can face a 20 year lock-up for a doobie and the millions-billions stealing upper-crust get away with about anything.

They can even run around other countries with their skirts wide open on a non secured network full of classified - top secret - the highest level of sensitive rating in our government... And be praised by the president Obama as having great judgment today.

I would be paranoid to walk around with drug related files or texts on my phone and this ***** is walking around with files threatening national security, and I am supposed to think she wasn't making it available on purpose? (**if I was a drug user**which I am not anymore lol)

Trump probably does too. These ultra rich people are extending their lives by 10-20 years with other people's bone marrow and stem cells now. In case you didn't know.
