I’m sure you realize how the parole boards work today. Can you see a time when they would work better than they do today? Hey, if so you may have a point. I just don’t see this happening. You’ll always have the left trying to get people out two days after they are incarcerated for violent crime. That’s the reality of it.
I agree that the costs are high today. You won’t see me advocating violent people be released prior to them serving their whole sentence. In many instance you’ll see my saying they should have served more time. One thing that neither of us has addressed, is the fact that the worst of these people can and will arm themselves, even if not allowed to do it legally.
When I'm dealing in principle, I don't bother with "how things are today," because to CHANGE "how things are" one needs to have an idea where one should go when it comes to reintegrating the dysfunctional. Somebody told us how to do that you know.
