And how is it possibly cheaper then government run, I'm open to your explanation. yes, I've read what Moldy said, not sure how accurate it is, or the different circumstances of each case, which one would have to go by.
It's been proven how people of color have been biased against in regards to incarceration, that's a tricky statistic though, I have to admit. The labor received from inmates is very limited. What I see as the larger problem for America is wasted productivity versus expense. Will children grow up to not be productive citizens and turn into criminals, they are then a long time expense, a drain. We have to get them while they are kids, figure out how to make children of disparity worthwhile and productive citizens, this really is our only way out of this paper bag, otherwise it is a continuous repetitive cycle.

your question: how is private cheaper? Who do you think is paying them? And how is it possibly cheaper than government run,
my answer: Are you kidding me? If you want a brick made, it is cheaper, faster, and better done if you pay a contractor to do it than if you pay government employees to do it. If you want a prison run as efficiently as possible, you pay a private company to do it instead of government employees. This has always been true. There are, of course, a whole list of other problems with corruption and risky behavior to increase profits that must be dealt with, but cost wise? There is no comparison.
As to your second paragraph? I completely agree. As long as B****s continue to do the lion's share of the crimes, they will continue to pay the lion's share of the cost through arrests and incarceration. Ever since the 70s, Black children have been victimized by their parents and peers. For three or more generations far too many have been taught falsehoods as t***h. Things such as 'cops are the enemy. If they arrest you they will beat or k**l you. Fight them or run away!' 'You have the right to steal because society h**es you.' 'S***es were freed during the Civil War because they rose up and freed themselves from their White masters.' 'Crime is your only pathway to success'. "Society owes you a good life'. I will leave out the false promises that the Democrats keep feeding them, because it is beside the point. Also, as i said, I agree with your overall point. Children of color should and must be taught the t***h. and should and must be taught how to succeed. This horrible cycle must be broken.
The question is how? Nothing the Democrats have done has helped, as the right keeps pointing out. it has made it worse, and IMO, it was done so deliberately by the Democrats.
I am totally and completely against any sort of race based 'r********ns', except for one. See how you like this idea:
The federal government pays for a Bachelors degree for each and every child of color born since 1950. This will include all direct education costs, books, room & board, and $300 a month for incidentals. The only qualification required is that they graduate high school with a minimum B overall average, and they maintain passing grades throughout their time in college. The program will end on December 31, 2050.
This, I think, will provide sufficient and generous r********ns in the form of an open opportunity to succeed and
EARN a successful life. Not because it is OWED (it isn't) to them, but for the purpose of breaking the cycle, and helping create a generation of happy, productive citizens. Expensive? Yes, but far cheaper than the toll in death and prison and lost productivity we now are dealing with.
What do you think?
