[quote=UNDERMINDED] I think its funny that prison over-crowding is such an issue. What does a new prison cost? $100mm, max? We spend that in court costs to get peoples sentences reduced every day. I say we bite the bullet, build 50 new prisons and call it a day.



The English had the right idea. Find a continent a half a world away. Populate it with the people you don't want. Sounds like Antarctica to me.

ACLU would be all over it in a heartbeat. No way you could get away with that in the 21st century. Although the convicts turned out a useful country.

Austrailians are some refreshing people. No hangups about political correctness.

aahhh, now Morean … I always counted on you to have a sense of humor.

I know. I just don’t think it’s funny. I would LOVE to ship convicts to Antarctica. Or at least politicians.



Here is my solution to government problems. All of Congress has to STAY in Antarctica until they can come up with a way to reduce the money we are spending and balance the budget. How quickly do you think we’d have that one done?

  I've got some concerns about hot air, the polar cap and global warming on that one.
