I dislike the concept of prisons where we just lock people up. I like the concept of prison farms where the prisoners work in the fields and that work is brutal in the summer.
Short sentences first offense but brutal working conditions as all farm workers endure. Second offense the same but more time. Third offense you will be a farm worker until you die.
yes, work camps and highway cleaning crews in the cold far north and hot south. Sheriff Joe’s pink prison uniforms and outdoor tents. All this and more.
But add one thing. Make it abundantly legal that if someone shoots a person who is in the commission of a felony, they are not charged. If a woman is about to be raped and shoots the rapist, no charge. If I see someone breaking into my neighbors house, same thing.
Will there be mistakes? Yes, there will. Will there be wrongful shootings? Yes there will. And everyone will figure out real fast to be especially nice, will figure out to tell people if you are visiting a house, will make sure everything is done open and above board.
