The cost of maintaining prisons is one thing but what about the Justice System used to convict criminals. Americans look on the system of justice with reverence touting it as the best in the world. It runs under the pretense of Innocent until Proven Guilty. When becoming a Judge someone always think they are going to be trying high profile cases and saving the world. Most Judges are doing custody battles, domestic violence, car accidents and small claims. They see the same people day in and day out; the names change but the actions and attitudes remain the same. I don't believe a judge in this situation could ever stop profiling and becoming ever more downcast by the system and its citizens. A breeding ground for resent and anger they begin to look at everyone as a criminal. Everyone becomes another troublemaker looking to bilk the other guy out of money.
