Ship 'em to Crawford, Texas.
See how mellow W's neighbors get.

Or she could pardon all non-violent drug offenders that are in jail and probably have 40% vacancy.

I say parachute them into Mexico. I volunteer to pack the chutes.

"A 1976 treaty on the execution of penal sentences between the U.S. and Mexico allows prisoners from either country to serve sentences for crimes committed in the neighboring country to serve out their sentences in their home country. That is when the conviction involves acts that are illegal in both countries, and where sentences and other penalties are similar."

I did not know this. Seems this treaty could be used to pressure Mexico on illegal immigration in a big way. There are tens of thousands of illegals in American prisons. If we were to start shipping these crooks back to Mexico in a big way I think we could get their attention.

"...only some prisoners would be eligible for relocation. Those convicted of murder, rape and other violent crimes would remain in Arizona."

Sounds fine to me,
Plain pine box, simple burial, no grass means easy maintenance, could save millions.

Wow...Deja Vu all over again!

I heard the news report about 4200 more prisoners than beds, and asked myself how many of those 4200 are illegals and how many of them we could just ship home. Problem solved.

Mexico would probably let them loose anyhow and they'll come right back and commit more crimes. Maybe we should put them in chain-gangs and do some hard work ---- it's good rehab. If not hard work, there is a lot of litter to be picked up, graffiti to be cleaned off walls, bathrooms to clean.
