When wildfires rage in California, incarcerated people are often on the front lines fighting the flames. TED Fellow Royal Ramey was one of them.

To End Extreme Poverty, Give Cash — Not Advice | Rory Stewart | TED
Are traditional philanthropy efforts actually taking money from the poor? Former UK Member of Parliament Rory Stewart breaks down why many global development projects waste money on programs that don’t work.

I’m really disappointed that she didn’t address the root cause of this whole “incarceration addiction” : for profit private prisons.
As long as jailing somebody is profitable there is not a single chance to witness change in the forseeable future.
Private prisons are the ones lobbying in Congress for harsher criminal statutes and negotiating really expensive penalties in case a 90% + rate of cell’s occupation isn’t reached.
Stop treating symptoms, focus on the illness.
Good luck anyway, at least she’s working for change.

I 100% agree that the system is broken but this isn’t gonna work. We already see that since this was applied crime is up 17% It should completely depend on the crime. Obviously it does but, they got it wrong. You steal a car your back out on the street to steal another within the day and the stats show this to be true.

For the people who really are criminals and rapists and scum of the earth in jail, do they deserve any kind of good living conditions in a jail or anywhere else? I agree we don’t need to keep minor offense charges under a bail they can’t pay, i think bail should be based on a percentage of what the person earns, and it should be a stinging blow of a percentage to incentivize them to not want to try to get away with it again, but I hope this won’t lead to blanketing the whole thing where we’re bailing out people with offensive records and serious crimes.

Poverty and forProfit Justice are cornerstones of the American Dream. The rich can’t stay rich without impoverished people to manipulate and exploit. And those impoverished people won’t conform to social standards and work unless there’s a threat of incarceration. Imagine actually having to pay living wages to poor people. The hedge fund economy would collapse. Much easier to trap them in a cycle of poverty and prison terms than it is to just end poverty. I mean we can absolutely afford to permanently end poverty in this country, and it would be cheaper over the long run. But, rich people won’t be able to get richer if they end poverty. Back to that catch 22.

It’s a manufacturing labor force that states use to recoup the cost of incarceration.
In most cases it’s the only opportunity to have cash for commissary goods. Very minimal wages, $1.00 a day.
State hospital I worked at did the same thing, wood and ceramics shops, gave patients an opportunity to earn real money, and offset the cost of care. State hospitals are all closed now and those patients are now the homeless.

The rich shouldn’t be able to wait for their day in court safely at home while the poor have to wait in a holding cell while surrounded by those who hate them. We have the right to a “SPEEDY” trial, and yet, we sit in jail for weeks awaiting trials that may even just throw out our cases. America is not the land of the free until the cash bail system is properly reformed.

It’s really a good initiative to help people to pay their billout, poverty it’s a real challenge to countries and communities activists as well. Because if you not put a real solution to mitigated of it you will end up in a poor country because its majority are poor people.
All community should help and government also not in US only but everywhere helping and social backed is a magical key solution for poverty problems around the world.

Bleeding heart liberal garbage. Stop coddling criminals. Do the crime you do the time. It’s called being held accountable for one’s actions. It’s this type of bleeding heart passivity that’s leading to the anarchy and lawlessness that’s destroying inner cities that are lead by Liberal lunatics.

As a society, shouldn’t we work on addressing the factors that put individuals more at risk of committing crimes? Such as drug addiction? And poverty? Sending people to prisons doesn’t solve these problems so crime is likely to continue to happen.

in principle people should be innocent until proven guilty, but some people awaiting trial should not be free at all. so it is a difficult issue, but i think anyone that is not involved in serious violent or dangerous cases should be allowed to be free until they are potentially found guilty
