I must fortify my inner hatred for *all* people, focus it, and lash out at those who would dare and unknowingly stand in my way.
Don't mind the Chicken Littles, they panic at everything.

We lock people up far longer than they do in Europe. We hand out too much time, IMHO. I consider this an extension of fiscal policy - which is to spend and spend and spend.
I notice that the article doesn't mention the existence of for-profit prisons.

You got that right.
China's the role model here. You want workers prepared to do anything you ask, just lock them up first. Crims, unionists, religious deviants and the insane, topped up with politicals if you are going to miss targets.

It could be.
