It works in Germany because the Germans are not sentimental about criminals. People are sent to prison to punish them. They are at once treated better and not coddled. Our prisons are full of petty criminals because of the war on drugs, and somehow government officials don’t discriminate between the ax= murderer and the drug pusher.
“petty criminals because of the war on drugs”
Ahh, I thought I sniffed a libertarian.
Criminals are criminals. Break the law, go to jail.
