Meet LaVonda Jackson, who is on Pritzer’s short list for the board. She is offering to parole any male willing to, ahem, clean her pipes.
She was quoted to say “Fo’git Black Lives Matter - mah Black Sexlife Matters mo’!
I love this kind of accountability.
IMO, the parole board should have to be accountable for the
crimes these people commit.
I would say that for DAs that let folks off without bail
too.
If the criminal pulls off a major crime, these people should
have to face the music too.
I can’t say exactly what the terms should be, but the days
of them turning folks lose on society, particularly families,
women, & children, should be over. Men too of course...
Wish this was the standard.
The cost of keeping people in prison is equivalent to sending your kid to an ivy league school. The budget is only so big, so they have to figure out who to keep and who to let go. Probably, 90% of the people in prison really need to be there because they represent a danger to society. In this case, some of them who should not be released are going to be released.
Now, as for the budget, if the DOJ says you have provide sex change surgery and God knows what else, it is going to greatly increase the medical cost of the prison population, that is draining the fund required for providing meals and basic requirements. Therefore, part of the budget problem is political. Another thing is the “death” penalty. If the guy lives twenty or thirty years before it is caried out, he is part of the problem of not being able to keep really bad actors in prison. A lot of the problems could be solved if there was any political will to do so. There isn’t.
Finally, somebody with a conscience. It’s extremely rare. I truly wish laws would be established to hold District Attorneys, Judges, and Attorney Generals criminally responsible, along with the violent offenders they’ve released to the street, and who commit another crime within a short period of time. They need to be held accountable for their stupidity.
Condolences to family and friends of Jayden Perkins. Crosetti Brand back to prison? Death penalty? Death is not a “penalty”. It’s justice.
It wasn't her fault. Her intentions were good.
You must never judge Lefties by the consequences of their actions, only their intentions.
They held themselves accountable, no one else did.
“I love this kind of accountability.”
Bull. “Accountability” would be her getting stabbed to death.
L
Only self-accountability. Need MAJOR legal repercussions for this to matter.
Too Late.
Doesn’t the Parole Board contain multiple members, not just one person?
Doesn’t at least a majority of the board members have to vote to recommend the governor grant a request for parole?
One person resigning is better than the usual nothing, but it’s just a start.
Hardly. She resigned. It’s not like she’s being held even partially culpable for the (predictable) crimes the perp committed. Should be though - the guy “repeatedly” committed violent acts, so it’s doubtful the fifth, or tenth, time is going to be the charm.
