"Two Tier" Keir in the UK would be proud.
Neil Gorsuch ping!
I tend to agree. Some crimes deserve long sentences. Some crimes might be better off requiring legitimate community services for social rehabilitation.
Violent criminals should be hanged after the third offense. Murderers and rapists after the first.
Didn’t the GOP lead the way in prison reform during Trump’s first term?
Neil Gorsuch:
Neil Gorsuch, a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, may make Americans to really look at our judicial system to eliminate the B$ on both sides of our legal system.
I think it was Chuck Colson who said a long time ago that our punishments for violent crime were too weak and our punishments for nonviolent crime were too strong. (It might have been Marvin Olasky, or they might agree with each other.)
The Bible’s punishments in Torah are simple and explicit. Most violent crime was punishable by death. Property crime was punishable by reparation plus 20%. Some other crimes were punishable by exile.
There was no such thing as jail time, because there was no such thing as a jail. The concept of a correctional institution or penitentiary comes from the Quakers, who thought a person, given enough time to think about his crimes, would come to repentance. (Doesn’t work.)
Many years ago I was at a talk given by an NRA lawyer. He said that federal gun laws were so complex that almost everyone in the room has broken at least one of them.
The guy I was with snorted. “What an exaggeration!” he said to me. Then the NRA lawyer went down a list of common federal gun crimes.
“I’m a felon,” my friend said to me.
This article runs counter to the impression I’ve been receiving in recent years. It seems to me that we are decriminalizing more and more crimes and eliminating or greatly reducing prison time. The only notable exceptions are the treatment of J6 participants and right-to-life demonstrators.
“some form of correctional supervision”
Who and what are “correctional” facilities correcting?
There are too many violent criminals on the street and too many violent crimes that never get punished. We have practically legalized rape in some cases.
Our legal system is unjust. People who commit terrible crimes skate off while draconian sentences are mandated for minor acts. Like disturbing an official meeting ... years in prison.

The family struggled with their finances, having used their savings to pay for George's defense.
Government has essentially unlimited funds with which to prosecute its targets. Government extracts those funds from We the People at gunpoint. Meanwhile, with rare exceptions, We the People do not have the means to defend ourselves in court.
Then they impose higher and higher fines and restitution payments against those with no way to pay. Contempt of Court is then charged for non-payment. That uses to be know as debtor’s prison.
If a man or woman is released from jail, thatman or woman must have all of the rights back, especially those related to protection.
Back when we had the death penalty and used it regularly and swiftly we had a lot less crime.
right down the middle between hamas and hezbolla? or between sunni and shia’s?
Then they impose higher and higher fines and restitution payments against those with no way to pay. Contempt of Court is then charged for non-payment. That uses to be know as debtor’s prison.
If a man or woman is non-violent enough to be released from jail, that man or woman must have all of the rights back, especially those related to protection.
Right now we have people looting at will during buisness
hours. Businesses are going under left and right.
What a great time to claim our populace is charged and
found guilty of too many crimes?
Is anyone paying attention at all these days.
Kamala is going to fix it. She wants to empty our prisons.
There you go folks. There’s your gal...
America Criminalizes Too Much and Punishes Too Much
