News flash....
Most people in prison are there for drugs or victimless crimes. Your entire argument just crumbled. If your punishment is worse than the crime, you might have an issue. Do you like to resolve issues or do you bury your head in the sand like a coward and double down on stupid?
Do you know any convicts or people that have been to prison? I do and most want nothing more than to move on with their lives. They were all there for drugs. These people are no better or worse than anyone else in society with addictions. Unfortunately they chose the wrong addiction. It’s okay to be a fat ass and burden society, or a drunk, or a pill head, but not illegal drugs. That makes you a piece of garbage worth destroying. Have you ever seen the inside of a prison because I doubt you have and I highly suggest you take a field trip or do some reading. Prisons are not a fun place and neither is jail. It is completely dehumanizing and we wonder why people are worse when they come out. You cant make people into animals then get upset when they do animal things. Im not advocating we make it the holiday inn but our current policies are a TOTAL FAILURE. That cannot be denied... period.
Our Founding Fathers did not intend this country to wrap itself and persecute itself through legalism. Attaching a title to someone because of a mistake does not make you a better person. Closed fist types like you seem to be unable to comprehend the current state of our Judicial and Criminal Justice System and the destruction is wrecks on our society. It doesn’t fix anything, unless you want cheap labor, someone for those who are small on the inside to stand on so they feel “big”. Everyone at any time is one step away from prison thanks to incompetence and the crazed and unethical zeal of our current crop of State Prosecutors. “Show me the man and I will show you the crime”.
Honestly, who believes in the sociopathic nonsense you just spewed? Our criminal justice system is completely out of control. In a vast majority of criminal cases, your freedom depends on your financial status and ability to secure proper counsel. While the poor suffer, rich brats like Bush and Obama get away with doing the same illegal and banned activities who’s prohibition they enforce.
It all comes down to these questions. What is the goal of our criminal justice system and is it working? Are people who leave prison being rehabilitated or not? Once a criminal always a criminal is only true when you encourage it. The system needs to be balanced, not the one sided human suffering show you so coldly advocate.
If they are not, they shouldn't be leaving.
Dear drunknsage,
People were sent to prison, because they committed a serious crime.
1. Can you spout one legitimate source, that says that herion, cocaine, pcp, ecstacy, and any other illicit drug, has any beneficial, and nutritious addings to the human body?
For all my years alive, all of that has been considered poisons, therefore, those selling and distributing poisons, are worthy of death.
2. The move to “rehabilitation”, is an idea fostered by liberals, not by conservatives. “We must try to understand what makes them tick, so we can go in there, and make it right.”
Nope. It is THE THUG that has always decided: what property already owned by somebody else, what risk is there to take it; would they have to walk over that person’s already dead body, to get it; when to commit the crime; and where.
You asked me if I like to resolve issues, right?
My solution would only cost one dollar per convict; not be a burden on the electric grid system; not be a happenstance event, as is now going on with lethal injections, although it is one; and would be complete. Although, if you think that is too expensive, we could use “the Pancho Villa method”, don’t you think?
Lastly, have you ever been robbed, raped, threatened with bodily harm by a group of individuals, shot at, attacked with a knife, and all of this within the Continental U.S.?
