Comment Chris Rock put prisons on my radar. (Score 1) 141

If not for Chris Rock jokes and my searching through Youtube and then Netflix, I would not have learned what a mess the USs judicial and prison systems are. I also caught up police procedures and criminal behavior by watching "The First 48," on Amazon VOD. Folks, the system is rotten from top to bottom, but also some people just ask for trouble repeatedly. My family was not perfect, but my dad hung around long enough to see me start college. That I recall, our only family incident involving the cops was when my sister ran away upstate. And none of my three siblings and I have drug addictions or preference. Our cousins, on the other had, are total fuck-ups when it came to drugs. One relative sold her house to pay for her now EX-husbands legal fees. In sum, Americans love to get high and are total wackjobs when it comes to functional family dynamics. The population is also too diverse and self-absorbed in "getting theirs" at someone else's expense. I saw some prison specials about the major units in the South and I cringed. There is no way I would ever visit those states and even chance landing in jail. It's like the Twilight Zone or a Charlton Heston movie. I am interested in seeing it change, but Americans are distracted and lethargic. I would rather move to a country with a small, homogenous population, and not on a drug smuggling route. As bad as it sounds, I am looking for one with a low indigenous population as they are often adamant about growing coca. There is no way that the United States will get its shit together in the 25 years left before I retire, and I refuse to keep paying to keep 2 million people in jail.
