There IS a solution but it will have to be implemented across the board in every State.
REVAMP the laws to include mandatory death sentences in more crimes. I would say that to sexually abuse a homosexual while in prison deserves the DEATH PENALTY, no trial, no jury, no reprieve. Within 72 hours of proof. DNA in someone's orafice would be enough to convict.
I am pro-life. If a person commits a heinous crime WHILE in prison, he forfeits his life. Purely and simply.
Prison as presently constituted should be abolished. It makes the prisoners more dangerous and motivates them to reoffend, especially if they are violent sociopaths.
In Jim's world, there would be three levels of retribution for crime:
1) All unprovoked violent attacks should be punished by death. People who plot crimes like rape and assault are broken in their heads, we don't know what to do about them, when we release them they reoffend, and life in prison a) costs a fortune and b) brutalizes the others they come in contact with.
2) All property crime should be punished by flogging or some othr immediate and physical punishment.
3) Property criminals who reoffend should be isolated from society in a "criminals only" zone, from which no escape is possible and into which no resources are put except erecting and maintaining the fence.
The current system is broken beyond repair. let's fix it.
