the "people who make jails and wars" are US you know.
the people are the government. they elect the reps and they bombard them with calls for tougher on crime, bigger jails, more jails, etc. those voices are heard and acted upon. if the same amount of passion was directed at them with charges to feed the hungry or clothe and shlter the homeless, the same amount of work would be done for that.
it seems there is no way to make money off of feeding the hungry, caring for the poor, or shekltering the homeless, and that is why the fucking assholes will never support such measures.
more jails means more free/cheap labor for the many companies that utilize the 3-4 million in prison at this moment.
