Then arrest just enough to fill up the prisons. You think America could ever run short on prison space? Prisons are our fastest growing form of housing.

not gonna sit and go back & forth, but prisons are growing because of current state levels of 115% capacity & federal levels of 136% (

I'd say they are "all filled up"
