Technical supervision violations account for $2.8 BILLION of this total amount, and new offense supervision violations make up $6.5 BILLION. These figures do not account for the substantial local costs of keeping people in jail for supervision violations.

    This demonstrates how the prison machine is fueled. It requires bodies to keep going. Without violations, the prison machine stalls and ceases to function the way a car engine does without fuel and oil. That’s why the sex offender registry has become punitive…to keep the prison machine running.

    Our elected oaf-ficials should be reading this, but I don’t think it would matter because there’s too much money and clout to be garnered by the perpetual police state (Amerikkka) we live in.
