I think we’re talking about non-violent criminals in jail for an inordinate amount of time.

There are a lot, and I mean a lot of people in the prison system who never get out, because they’ve committed some offense related to drugs, or not showing up for Motor Vehicle citations, or being disorderly etc.

Many are uneducated and poor. Many are young....many are women.

The other thing, is they let you out with no money and no means of support. You’re in jail ten years and you come out with no alternative but to commit another crime.

There are many things about Trump that the left fails to give him credit for.

The latest is the pre-existing conditions. He is bound and determined to make this a republican mandate. Funny how Paul Ryan hasn’t done zilch to make the republicans look good in the eyes of the independents.

Can’t wait to get his sorry butt out of there.

Doesn’t someone without income qualify for welfare?

Homeless facilities are filled with them. They want to get on with life, but few are willing to give them a second chance.

Is prison reform a big issue with independents?
