Because these haven't been things for decades:

You're comparing apples and oranges, but even so, you're effectively agreeing with the left that America has a mass incarceration problem.

I think everybody agrees that America has a mass incarceration problem, although the answers range from "build more prisons" to "stop sentencing people for so damn long." Like I said in another topic lately, it doesn't make much sense to have a normal criminal serve more than 20 years. Life imprisonments are generally stupid since very few people represent that much of a continued danger.
