assignment 13-Will Shapiro

Everyone knows there is a big problem with overcrowded jails in America. Thousands of people get put away every year for mostly petty crimes that should only require a slap on the wrist. Unfortunately for us, there hasn't been an alternative besides spending millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars every year to "fix" all those criminals through jail time. Well fear not everyone, for an alternative has arrived! If the government were to build large arenas in every state, instead of serving jail time, we could take notes from the glorious Roman Empire and just have them fight it out. They are prisoners so who cares what happens to them anyway. This will not only solve the overpopulation issue, but it will also solve the money issue because it will be broadcast on live TV with all kinds of sponsorship to generate huge amounts of revenue and be a big source of entertainment for people around the world! Now now, curb your enthusiasm, none of this has happened yet, but if we begin plans today, it could be up and running by 2018!
