Reply to comment by SuckMyBike in New Yorkers overwhelmingly support bail changes ahead of state budget deadline: Poll by Grass8989

>Every other developed country currently also has their lowest murder rate in a century. But they are locking up 10x fewer people than the US is

There is a million and a half reasons why this is. Edit: Since the comment was deleted - there are a million and half reasons why the US and other western countries have different circumstances

>It's almost as if it's not working at all.

The (until recently) record low homicide rate begs to differ.

This post is pathetic. On the one hand you claim that there are a million reasons why crime rates are low in other countries, but then you go and claim that the US crime rate being low is thanks to putting people in prison.

Fucking pathetic.
