If the plea bargain system were done away with, I expect that the list of redundant charges brought in most cases would be cut down to match and the sentences at the end of the day would be similar to what we see now. If for no other reason than that the prisons are largely full and don’t have room to keep folks in for 25 instead of 5.

And yes, it’d free more police to revenue me on 495.

Still, we have increased our prison capacity tremendously. No doubt we could do it again.

Frankly, I'd like fewer folks in but doing harder time ~

The Europeans harrass prisoners with an endless parade of social workers. The Japanese don't let them sit down.

There are ways.

We might also think twice about prison time for speeding ~
