"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
City Had to Stop Arresting Actual Criminals Because They Filled Up Jail with Non-violent Offenders
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Mon, 2016-03-14 01:00
"The epidemic of mass incarceration is coming back to bite authorities in one American city. Because the Greene County jail is completely full, Springfield (pop. 165,000) is unable to arrest more than 12,000 people accused of crimes such as traffic infractions and misdemeanor assaults. Missouri’s third-largest city has lost almost half a million dollars in less than a year from unpaid fines and fees."
