State And Federal Prison Population
473 words
One of America's biggest problems today is the
overcrowding of prisons. This began when the

's. With the increase of rapist, murderers, and
drug dealers skyrocketing, there is no reason to
this overpopulation. The nation responds to this

construction has not kept pace with the soaring

have the urge to do just about anything to them in
order for them to suffer, which causes us to take,
revenge on them. This matter has lead to the death

the man or woman that has committed the crime. Why

The death penalty is one of the most emotionally
charged and controversial issues in the United
