This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

The feds already have supermaxes for the violent offenders. And they are no joke. Right up to the line of “cruel and unusual”.
Most of the real animals are in state prisons. So none of them will end up in Alcatraz.
And the for profit prison industry would like to have a word with you Don.

If locking people away worked the US would be the safest country in the world.
What worked to reduce the murder rate down to 2014 level? Identify that and do more of it.

DOGE should have crunched the numbers on this one before Trump made the pronouncement.

Is the name of the prison a crime deterrent?

It's amazing how badly the US treats people in prison and is then shocked when they don't come out of that system as model citizens.
Also for profit prisons is one of the most stupid ideas ever.
It's up there with a chocolate teapot.

That is by design. Our high criminal recidivism rate is due to our broken criminal justice system which benefits the for-profit prison systems.

It has nothing to do with actual crime. It’s a way to scare the masses into believing that Trump and the Minions are doing something to protect the paranoid Fanboys.
Like the 2.3 billion lives saved by seizing Fentanyl.
