Yeah it started out ok but quickly disintegrated into a hit job.
Did you know crime is down but not because people are put in prison?
They didn’t give the REAL reason, but it’s not the inability of dangerous men to assault innocent folks on the streets because they’re behind steel doors.
The *real* reason crime is down is plea bargaining. Just knock felonies down to misdemeanors. Everyone is happy. The perp gets to stay out of prison. The judge doesn’t have to preside over a trial (which is actually his job). The DA counts it as a successful *prosecution*.
Ok, the victims don’t like it, but the thoroughly dysfunctional system is not set up to accommodate them.
Yes, apparently mass incarceration of criminals doesn’t reduce crime. Yet the *expert* quoted didn’t offer up an alternative. My guess is art therapy.
