The Justice Department should limit the types of cases it brings and more nonviolent criminals should be steered toward probation and away from prison, according to task force recommendations designed to cut the federal inmate count and save more than $5 billion. [...]
The recommendations from the Charles Colson Task Force on Federal Corrections provide concrete steps prosecutors, judges, prison officials and policymakers can take to reduce prison overcrowding and ease spending on a corrections system that's swelled in the last three decades as a result of harsh mandatory minimum sentences imposed on drug criminals. ...

Does Charles Colson’s family know anything about this task force? I doubt he would have approved.
Mass executions?
just toss out all of the laws....the prison count will drop considerably. <sarc
I guess Colson was a bit upset that he went to prison and Nixon did not?? Anyone who thinks the feds are putting people in jail over petty narco busts is out of touch with reality.
Send them to colleges and educate them instead of imprison them. Make it a coed affair. Could the results be much worse?
be grateful if you don’t live in the inner city. It’s about to get a lot more dangerous for the residents living there.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. LOL.
So will the criminal count. We will shoot them.
OK
Take the worst out and shoot them
i was thinking i wish i knew how to post a picture of a gun, or even the electric chair lol.
60k...they never give out the correct number. Yet you can bet they all will be able to vote for hil in Nov.
A co-worker disclosed to me that he had been on a federal grand jury. They met every Friday for around 6 months (which by the way makes it nearly impossible to keep secret, since he missed so much work).
Anyway, he said every case was the same: “guns and drugs”...”drugs and guns”. They always went together. He said they saw hundreds of cases, and only one was just “drugs”...and he sarcastically asked the prosecutor ‘what about the gun?’.
My take away - not surprisingly, the vast majority of federal drug prosecutions involve guns...which is probably the entire reason these prosecutions are federal in the first place. He didn’t see any cases of street corner drug dealers.
Democrats, letting all criminal illegal aliens in and now out:-)
Does this mean the few banksters doing jail time get let off early?
Does that involve sending them back to Mexico and closing the border to make sure that they don't come back?
Put them in a ‘safe zone’ a la Trump. Give them all the drugs they want. A good substitute for sex.
After Colson served his Watergate time he became a Born Again Christian and founded one of the most successful prison ministries in the world. To my knowledge he never advocated that the people he was ministering to should not do their time. He died in 2012.
Easy, execute the 60,000 worst of them.
I was move by many of his stories and his teaching resources.
