Overcrowding In Prisons Overcrowding In Prisons Today in America there are over one million people imprisoned. The number of inmates is steadily increasing, and shockingly we are running out of room for all these criminals. This is a result of many different social, political, and economic issues that we have today. These include problems such as new taxes for money in order to build new prisons, mandatory minimum sentences, stricter parole eligibility laws, and the neglect of social problems that foster criminal attitudes. Without a doubt, these are problems that have forced the U.S. to imprison a larger share of its criminal population than any other nation in the world. In America, most believe that criminals of serious crimes should be sent away to a prison facility to do time in accordance to their wrong doing. This is happening more and more each year and the bulk of Americans do not see how this can be a major problem. They simply see that all the criminals are being put away and that it is a good thing; they are blindly missing the point that more prisoners brings about an array of problems with it.
