Well I’m for stricter sentences across the board. I would have alot more prisons operating, maybe more than some here would want, maybe less.
Our justice system has created and continues to create a new class of citizens, the criminal class. They cause harm, get caught (hopefully), get convicted (hopefully), and imprisoned. Unfortunately in many cases these people become more dangerous, and then they are released into our civilization to pick up where they left off.
Could be gang bangers, could be twisted individuals, I would prefer they were sent away for long stretches.
2-5 for robbery? make it 12-15. 5-10 for assault? 20-25.
rape? murder? life sounds good to me.
Too much?
The problem is that the government fills the prisons with too many people who are comparatively harmless, rather than keeping in prison those people who really need to be there. It also gives a free pass to some government personnel who really deserve prison.

I think the ol gal was right on the money with this one.
