I don’t disagree. However, even though minority males make up a disparate amount of violent criminal behavior, the true life impacting crimes, they will get a pass.
If people only knew just how bad it is...how many violent criminals are walking around on probation, getting suspended imposition of sentence on armed robberies, walking it down and still being able to legally buy a firearm and walk around with it openly...only to commit more violent crimes.
I’ve got some idea, anyway, reading news as obsessively as I do.
I have some ideas about justice that IMHO would work much, much better than mere incarceration. Certain crimes should should have sentences like public caning. Over quickly, no years off of their lives, no bad association in prison, and public pain and shame will do wonders. Years ago when I served on a grand jury for 3 months (once a week), I told that idea to the county prosecutor and he totally agreed with me, that is the only way to actually change criminals.
And I would add restitution, mandatory, and death penalty for many crimes that used to have it.
Prisons should also be self supporting as much as possible, so prisoners have useful work to do. Idle hands etc.
