The US imprisons more of its citizens than any other country, and Louisiana has the highest incarceration rate in the US.

Being "tough on crime" is BS.

This is what you get when you let the "free market" get involved in the prison "industry".

It could be a lot worse? The biggest flaw in your reasoning is the idea that there is some sort of relationship between the percentage of the population in prison and the percentage of the population that engages in criminal behavior. The people of Louisiana don't have any less moral character than the people of any other state in the US. That state is just an example of an prison-industrial complex out of control.

No, you didn't fix anything. Apparently you have no idea why someone would use quotation marks around the term "free market".
