Overuse of prisons are a hallmark of communist-style totalitarianism. There’s nothing conservative about forcing otherwise productive members of society to rot. This bill has many safeguards protecting society from those who are a real menace. Innocent political prisoners, or overcharged people, would benefit most.
This bill is also most needed for security reasons. Terrorist sympathizers are recruiting big time in the prison system, with young, previously non-violent offenders with mandatory sentences and few prospects after being a prime target.
There are proper, age old ways to deal with crime. Short stints of hard labor would be most productive and cut crime most. But this bill lowers many societal risks.
Thank you. Don’t feel bad when the clueless flame you.
