For many of those countries, socialism is the only way out .. just as it was for Libya .. and daring someone to challenge me on that.

agree. when a country is being run by oligarchs and is incapable of reform, the people need to throw out the oligarchs.
Libya was a classic ex. It had many of the highest standards of living in Africa/guaranteed housing/health care.etc.

The US/NATO complete destroyed the country with the assassination of Qadaffi -which led to militia rule, which led to endless civilwar to this day

I was the project manager for everything south of the US for about 4 years. Managed over 33 airports in the Caribbean, Central and South America. for a major airline.
Pick one (except Grand Cayman). All the islands struggle with poverty of unimaginable magnitude. You get away from the resorts and your in shit city.
This with US investments and funds.
I struggle with "blame" of no US investments/help/funds for the sole cause of Cuba being behind in anything.

Cuba has around the same incarceration rate as the USA, although it is difficult to get accurate statistics from the Cuban government so it may even be higher!

Check this out ..

.. which points directly to BILL CLINTON, the worlds biggest jailer.

It helps to have a fuckton of oil as well, although even somewhere like Venezuela has still descended into a shithole.

why was that? *curious*
I was thinking of the railway system -still the main hub today, as well as building up their administration abilites

Just a point in fact...

Over 15,000 ppl a year die on those railroads, another one.....

Totally agree. Culture change and sentencing reform=prison reform.

It would go a long way to help if the mentally ill were looked after properly and drugs addicts put on treatment programs. I suggest that the poppy crop in Afghanistan was bought up and used to make heroin. That would kill dead the Mexican drug cartels dealing in impure shitty heroin.

Exactly, the Brits built nearly 50,000 miles of railways in India and an impressive civil service and court system.

Sadly being mentally ill is a crime & we have no facilities to help them..... Most are on the streets or in jail...

They say about 1/3 of those in prison are mentally ill~& of them few are receiving any care @ all.....

A quarter of the homeless here are Vets, WTF???

In the past our society was willing to pay to help ppl, no longer..

Hardly surprising when you see so many people trying to cross the tracks or ride in the carriage roofs.

In which case it is hardly surprising that the jails are full.

I just heard that the other day... Was w/ a friend & there was a TV in the background & deaths were being reported from a train crash in India & when they announced that over 15,000 die a year we just kinda looked @ each other like WTF?? I asked her~"did I hear that? Did you hear them say over 15,000"?

I like the idea that we're all choir boys too.
But it simply isn't practical, in a population of over 300 million.

We have way more behind bars than belong there. We've covered that already. That includes non-violent offenders.

BUT !!

There are some that society needs to be protected from. Whether we put them in a cage, or suspend them from a rope, that's a separate issue.

BUT !!

The pros that take care of it for us deserve to be compensated for their efforts. That includes:
- police patrolman & sheriff's deputy
- LEO leadership / chiefs of police
- law judges
- attorneys
- jailers
- and those that serve them: launderers, restaurant workers, auto. mechanics, plumbers *, etc.

* Thugs stole the toilet out of the police station last week. The police have nothing to go on.

None of which justifies private for profit prisons.

They didn't colonise India for the good of the Indians.

GB couldn't "destroy" the caste system..It's too much a part of India's society.
India resented the Brits for just being there -and they were supposed to do social engineering too?

Fuck you

 

[Rune]

It is sobering to note that there was only a quarter of a million British administrators, soldiers etc to control a population of four hundred million in the 19th century. If they had tried to change the caste system there would have been unbridled violence, as it was too well entrenched.

Slavery too was once entrenched

Hey it kind of worked out to everyone's benefits. One of the successful colonizations

In principle I don't know why not, if it lowered costs *.

In practice it seems for profit prisons don't seem to save the $tax $payer much, if anything.

Philosophically I'm conservative. I don't have a problem with minimizing government, shifting to the private sector:
- private schools
- parochial schools
- charter schools

For example, I suspect Wal~Mart has both a better selection, and lower prices than a U.S. military BX (a government retail store on a military reservation).
But the VA gets high marks for health care efficiency (particularly in record keeping); and may be better than private hospitals.

So I believe it's a mixed bag.

* We can't rule that out.
Government workers may have set civil service pay scales; whereas private sector employers might have greater flexibility in setting wage ranges. The People might $save a little there.

Yes and GB did that in many countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, various countries in Africa whilst not one other colonising nation left even one democracy behind.
