Many people don't mind prison. It's air conditioned, good food, great health care, etc. We have made prison too comfortable. When Arkansas prison was so bad people confessed to crimes in other states to avoid prison in Arkansas. Prison should be a place you don't want to be. Let's make it that way we can do that several acceptable ways. Next, let's make them self sustaining. Raise their own food, rent them out labor wise and use those funds to house them. If you don't work you don't eat. Hunger is a great motivator.

L**ters and those involved in violence loose all government benefits immediately except for ss and Medicare as they are paid for from past income. They loose those benefits for 8 to 15 ys. On unplanned child birth, we help with one, if you have more you must handle. Limit time on welfare. You either are training for better job sk**ls or get employed. It is not a way of life, it is a hand to survive while getting new employment. If they are physically able they need to be self sustaining.

Pass a law that to benefit in any government program you must be a citizen. All non citizens could enroll in a involved program to become a citizen. If they don't they will be deported. Set a time limit for enrollment and enforce it. Make them want to be citizens. Later, if you don't support citizenship it can be revoked and you deported.

Our congress has had years to correct immigration and they haven't. Let's v**e them out this year and elect people who will do the job. This is the way business operates. If you don't do what you are hired to do they replace you.

The people in office who have broken laws must be severely punished. That will stop the corruption.

Solutions are easy, but it takes balls to enforce them.

In Texas, state prisons are not air conditioned. And when the showers are in use it gets extremely humid in the cell blocks. Drug abuse facilities do have a/c. In Houston they sold the land surrounding the prisons there. The state saw those dollars signs and couldn't resist. It started a domino effect. There may be a few left but as cities grow around a unit, they dwindle. TDCJ doesn't like inmates to escape.

Federal prisons are all air-conditioned. They even have places where some can relax. Eglin AFB had inmates in their white uniforms sleeping under shade trees, drive by a few hours later and they were still there. I think they were mostly white collar criminals. They didn't k**l anyone, just stole millions.

Sheriff Arpaio had the right ideas, so had to go. The left will never punish evil doers, guess it makes them feel bad. 18,000 are due to be released soon in crazy California. Guess they need room to lock up people who won't obey them. And replenish the ones taken out by ICE and the Feds. Not enough MS-13 foot soldiers still around to do the left's bidding and then get murdered themselves like with Seth Rich.

Most gangs require you k**l someone to join. Seems to be what is going on in Chicago and NYC. Then there are always the Muslims waiting in the wings to do their thing. The left is absolutely evil. And are corrupting as many GOP members as fast as possible. That's why thy spied on them, to find dirt they could use.
