Despite making up close to 5% of the global population, the U.S. has more than 20% of the world's prison population. It is over 2,000,000 people.
Of these people 696,000 are violent criminals who committed murder, ****, serious drug trafficking and human trafficking. A large city worth of people. I say let's make them one.
Rat Island, which is aptly named is located in Kiska, Alaska. Its warm enough there. Build facilities to house and guard the prisoners there. The chance for escape on the island is near zero. A boat or plane is needed.
Currently no one lives on the island and no one will really wants to go to prison there. It will decrease crime I say based on the thought of going there. It is federal land.
" Kiska (: Qisxa, : Кыска) is one of the , a group of the of . It is about 22 (35 ) long and varies in width from 1.5 to 6 miles (2.4 to 9.7 km). It is part of and as such, special permission is required to visit it. The island has no permanent population. "
It cost us roughly $39,000 a year to house, guard and keep a prisoner for a year. We can bring that cost way down.
