On Friday night’s (July 26) All In with Chris Hayes, the MSNBC host Hayes did not seem to recognize that putting criminals in jail contributes to reducing crime as he declared that it was “frustrating’ to him that there has been more ‘incarceration” while “crime is going down.”
In a question caught by the MRC’s Brad Wilmouth, Hayes informed U.S. Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA):
“What I find most frustrating is that we have seen is incarceration go up at the same time that crime is going down, and yet the fear level is still stoked, even though what we have is, objectively, less murders every year, we have less crime, we are living in a safer society, and we are putting more people in prison.”
