[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5180025, member: 58386"] One of the major network news outlets did a thorough investigation of the matter and the numbers they quoted came directly from the federal Bureau of Corrections .And they interviewed a number of current and recently quit corrections officers. Two most common complaints....Low pay ($45,000) a year, mandatory overtime due to staffing shortages and increased threat to personal safety due to insufficient and often below minimum staffing requirements per cell block. Main reasons given.....budget constraint driven hiring freezes...And given that you personally haven't paid in a dime in years and years yet you have the audacity to cry about minimal sentences , early releases and minimal bail. And yet you holler for tax cuts for those who dutifully pay in every week or every quarter....Fine, but by law the reduced revenues have to be made up with cuts some place else....The Bureau of Corrections happens to be one of those places.
