No wonder there is little reform in prison.
Better to disbar all such crooked lawyers and order him to pay expenses incurred by those he wronged.
Spending $45,000 a year to keep him and other non-violent criminals confined with the worst is expensive and really doesn't deter anyone
Pinging the active DukeLax thread.
With regard to your second word "ham", what's that about? As for you being disgusted about prison rape, boohoo. Who cares? Unfortunately today prison rape is about the only true justice victims (as these boys truly are) and their families get because of our incompetent, inefficient and corrupt legal system. Crooked lawyers should be disbarred but when they abuse the power of their office and break the law by lying and withholding evidence from the North Carolina justice system they should also go to prison like any ordinary citizen that breaks the law. As for your foolish statement that prison is not a deterrent, to make such a statement you must indeed be a fool yourself and also rude I might add.
While I concur about "bubba justice", if you think Nifong's criminality is non-violent, you're completely missing the fact that he has the complete violence of the State behind him.
The State brings more violence to bear than the Bloods, the Crips, the Hells Angels, etc. And in this case, that violence is being used about as justly.
So the idea that Nifong's transgressions are somehow "non-violent" simply because he does them with the imprimateur of the State, is just badly mistaken. Everything he does, is with the implicit violence of every policeman in the country behind it.
