Tom Cotton does not know or does not care what the New York Times and other media say about "mass incarceration". I like that.

Yeah, an under incarceration of guilty people.

The system lets career criminals slip away and just grinds up any decent sap who got sucked into the Justice system.

Tom Cotton is correct. We also have an under execution problem.

“I saw this in Baghdad. We’ve seen it again in Afghanistan. Security has to come first, whether you’re in a war zone or whether you’re in the United States of America.”

Something about that just doesn't sound right.

All violent criminals, murderers, gang members, robbers, burglars, pedophiles, rapists etc should be head-shot, thrown in a dumpster and then a landfill. That would open-up a lot of cells for the other felons. The herd needs serious thinning/culling.

It’s time to reduce sentences for the petty drug crap and put violent people behind bars longer, or actually execute them.

You don’t end up in prison in this country by accident. You really have to work hard at it...be a repeat offender/career criminal with zero intention of ever being a productive member of society. Stuff gets pled down like crazy, prison time is converted into probation, early parole...etc.

Its hard to get into prison. If somebody puts in the effort, why spring them out early?

Tom Cotton is the one senator out of that whole gang that voted against the Corker bill. However he did vote for fast track.

If not for that I think he would get a serious look from Trump for VP.

This discussion brought to you by the Democrats who were looking for votes during the Clinton era, and voted in new stringent laws, and more prisons to pander to the law, and order crowd of the day.

NOW that the prisons are full of Black people whom commit most of the crimes the Democrats want to empty the prisons they filled up to pander to the black lives matter, and leftist crowd.

Democrats chasing votes wherever they can create them.

Well, yes... I have a list of 98 people who should be tried for treason.

Agreed. No more fines for white collar criminals. It doesn’t work, they just see it as a cost of doing business. Toss them in prison.

He is certainly right in one aspect.
Not nearly enough elected officials and bureaucrats are in prison.

Perhaps we need to start trading with Mexico. Offer career criminals the option of relinquishing their citizenship and crossing our southern border never to return. Mexico certainly doesn’t have any problem with sending their criminals here.

It seems like every time there’s a crime in the area where I live the perp has a rap sheet five pages long. I don’t think were incarcerating enough.

This was also one of Cantor’s big pushes...once Amnesty got through.

Thankfully he was dispatched.

This guy seems recklessly lacking in perspective, and I hate him.
