I think you've misunderstood. I'm talking about the choice that people make when these effects start happening, not a choice now. Of course most people aren't opting to get violent yet, there backs aren't yet against the wall.
In that case I wouldn't worry about either choice if it's decades away. I'd wait and see how bad it gets before making the decision.
Sure. But my whole point is that we're headed in that direction.
We are. But it's just American prisons are so horrific that you'll really want to wait and see how bad it gets before choosing to put yourself in one.
