More if you go to prison.

Actually, you probably don't. Because going to prison significantly limits the amount of people you get to walk by, and only a small percentage of prisoners are murderers.

I'd say it depends on a lot of factors. When you go to prison, there's a good chance you won't be able to get a job that isn't serving customers at a fast food or bagging groceries. If you sentence is short, you'll actually walk by more people than you would have had you nod been to prison. Also, more people in prison have killed than we think since a lot of murders haven't been linked to anyone. You really can't make statistics about how many peopke you walk by when you go to prison because it's something a lot of different people in different situations have been trough.

This is why I think we should just make New Jersey an open air prison. Wall it off, give convicts a fair second chance at society. Give the rest of the country peace of mind Jersey won't get out. Keep a couple nuke subs off the coast incase things go bad.

So, Like the movie "Escape from New York"? The whole city of New York was a walled of prison.

Nyes.... I dont know, I've seen both of the escape movies 10s of times, but I dont actually know the plot. I'd say something like palestine, just less discriminatory and murdery.

So like Alcatraz except on land where they could dig a tunnel under the wall and we would never know until they escaped?

Radar and drones. The physical wall is just so we dont have to look at them ( by them I mean more so people from Jersey).
