I agree with a curb on "mandatory sentencing" - keeping a judge from using discretion based on individual cases.Originally posted by Starlight View Post
I believe violent crime should be aggressively prosecuted, but I also believe that certain "containment" practices produce more violent criminals.What happened to the "tough on crime" conservative mantra?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

Our local sheriff has pretty much cordoned his jail (86 beds) into two separate sections. If you're a first time offender, or somebody not convicted of violent crime, he puts you in the "I'm just here to do my time, so please leave me alone" section. If you're there to be a tough guy, and get gang tattoos and 'play the thug', he puts you in "general population". But you have a choice when you go in.Originally posted by Bill the Cat View Post
He's actually working under a federal grant to study the recidivism rates of each unit.
To your point, though, our previous sheriff (good friend who died from cancer) told me shortly before he passed "I'm tired of arresting the grandchildren of people I arrested 40 years ago".

There are different types of criminals.
Some are just people who end up doing something wrong and getting caught. Maybe they are normally honest people who got greedy or desperate and did something wrong. They usually learn their lesson and don't do it again.
Some are just people who end up hooked on drugs and get caught and arrested. Unless you can get them to want to get clean, they will most likely go right back to being addicted when let go.
Some are just people who LIKE to be criminals. They don't want a regular job, they want to "get rich" - by selling drugs, robbing people or businesses, have anger issues and like getting into fights, joining gangs, or whatever. Unless something really hits them in the heart, like finding Jesus, they are not going to change because they like being crooks.

Jail isn't a great place to be, but you get free food, free place to sleep out of the elements, free clothing, free cable TV, don't have to work....Originally posted by Cow Poke View Post
Beats being on the streets. Some people quite deliberately break the law upon getting released so they can go back. Sometime I suspect that our jail population is so high mostly because it's not such a bad place to be compared to other parts of the world.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
