Crime is, has, and always will be a
problem. Americans have imprisoned about
2.3 million people, how do we control this population? If we put all of our
prisoners in one area, it would be the 4th most populous city in the
country, coming in ahead of places like Philadelphia, Dallas, and barely edging
out Houston.
We spend billions caring for these
people every year, but why? These people have had a chance, and have lost the
right to live in society. After viewing such classic films such as “Escape from
New York” and “Escape from LA” I say we take an approach similar to that of the
movies. We empty a large city, and throw our criminals into it, and keep them separated
from our civilized society. They can govern themselves and live however they
choose, just as long as they stay away from real society. Houston is a large city, but has rural
surroundings. The criminals could feed themselves with the few surrounding
areas we give them. Plus, Houston is arguably the fattest city in the country,
it’s not like anyone actually wants to live in that place.
