  2. They have been promising to build more prisons for the last 20+ years and still haven’t done anything.

  3. Never understood why they can’t put more to a cell than two.

    When I joined the forces there was like 30 of us to a barrack room. Tiny little locker and your bed was about 2 feet from the next guy.

    On ship it was even worse, 50 of you to a tiny compartment, 3 bunks high, no natural light because you were 5 decks down below the waterline, air thick with BO and farts. Home for the next 6 months! Aaaaah they were the days.

    I hadn’t even broken the law as well!
