Having done Crime Stat research for a decade, it’s a LIE #1. #2 EVERY FORM OF REFORM has been tried. It all FAILED. Only 2 things work INCARCERATION and the DEATH PENALTY. Recidivism at the 11 month 29 day facilities is 95%. 30 DAY SERVE RATE. National is nearly 70% probably over as Crime is Hierarchical Counted. Plea Deals. Crimes committed while on bail, parole or probation are in the MILLIONS.
Dumbest line I heard while sitting in the court room waiting for my 16 yr old’s son’s SOCIOPATHIC killer to be called was “YOUR HONOR, MY CLIENT IS NOT IN YOUR COURT TODAY, HE’S IN JUDGE .... COURT. BAIL WAS NOT REVOKED. COME BACK IN 30 DAYS. WHICH JUDGE #2 WOULD ALSO TELL THE PREP.
BTW Jeremy’s killer ambushed him on his way home from school and BEAT him to death for the jollies, then went and bragged about it to his friends and dragged them to the site of the crime. Stood there as police were investigating as 1 of them called the police. Ran, got caught took over 2 yrs to reach a Plea Deal of 20 yrs from a Murder 1 to a Murder 2 charge. Served 10.5 yrs as I fought those 6 parole hearings using their FAKE stats.
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - The Force was not on Luke Sky Walker’s side when he was arrested by police this week.
According to Elizabethton Tennessee Police, a man named Luke Sky Walker was arrested Thursday for violation of probation.
“Court records show the 21-year-old from Johnson City was on probation in connection to a felony theft charge.”
“Walker was arrested at the Probation and Parole Office and taken to the Carter County Detention Center. Mark Hamill responded with this tweet.”
I have two personal anecdotes you might find interesting...
In the 1970s, I had a college classmate who majored in psychology. He accepted an interim job as a probation officer while waiting to get into a PHD program.
I asked him how the job was going. He responded: “They are sociopaths. They are ALL sociopaths.”
About 10 years later, I developed a casual “chess club” friendship with another Psych major who was an assistant pastor at a local church.
My chess friend's marriage was breaking up, so he accepted a “live-in” counseling job at a really nice local Half-Way House (more like dormitory), which was actually on the grounds of a federal maximum security prison.
I walked out to his new residence several times to play chess, and, naturally, I asked how things were working out for him.
He responded: “Great, once I got used to fact that I am the only person living here who is not a sociopath.”
