Equalizing achievement between races (school children) can only work if the kids involved want to be educated and want to become productive members of society and/or have loving parents who guide them toward success. Why gang members aren't treated as domestic terrorists is a serious question. A few examples of that happening might just change the mindset of some kids who see thuggery as a viable lifestyle for the rest of their days. If not, then they need to be institutionalized because what they espouse doing to others is criminal and costing human lives and countless taxpayer dollars.
I’ve read TN Recidivism report, blacks do 6 months less time, occupy more beds, that report is now a decade or more old.
Current for the 11 month 29 day Penal Farm in Memphis is 85% RECIDIVISM RATE! MOSTLY BLACK. IT IS SO OVER CROWDED THEY SERVE 3 MONTHS, MOSTLY WINTER OR WHEN A HEALTH NEED ARISES, MOST HAVE 40-50 CRIMINAL OFFENSES EACH.
‘YOUR HONOR, MY CLIENT IS NOT IN YOUR COURT ROOM TODAY, HE IS IN JUDGE’S ___________COURT ROOM.’ Public Defender, we paid for.
Honest to GOD I was there when it happened just this way. Bail was not revoked. 1 prep had 2 court rooms tied up. Judge 2 was not notified either. So you can guess bail was once more used.
We moved out of Shelby Co because of the crime, high taxes, and corrupt dem controlled areas of politics.
22 mile move taxes dropped, car ins, no wheel tax, nice friendly people both black and white. Kids don’t get into the kind of problems they do in Memphis. It is rightly called the cesspit of TN. Next to Nashville.
