Problems / Solutions
The bunk, the plea, the patrol
The cage, the hallway that replaced the trial, the leftover truck on the street. Digital surveillance is on the Computers pages. Jailing the unhoused is on the Buildings pages. The overdose is on the Health pages. The statute book is on the Law pages.
Problem
Mass incarceration
Nearly 2 million confined on a given day. About 465,000 of them have not been convicted. The peak fell. The cage did not.
Problem
The plea mill
USSC FY 2025: 98 percent of federal cases ended in a guilty plea. The trial is the threat.
Problem
Surplus on patrol
DLA: 6,500 agencies in the 1033 program. $8.4 billion in original acquisition value since the transfers began.
