“Our goal is not to keep people locked up”
Translation: mass incarceration works
When the stop, question and frisk (all 3 is the correct saying) was in place along with new mandatory sentencing the NYC and the State of NY, one police commissioner said: One reason crime, especially violent crime, is so much down is a lot of the repeat offenders are in prison now and not on the streets. That has made a real difference.”
They didn’t go for the real solution: he death penalty. A felon with 180 crimes can no longer go on to commit about 180. That’s a “deterrent” whether the wimpy moronic leftists think so or not.
Maybe hanging a few of them will create a feeling of fear in the criminals.
When they are locked up they are not stealing.
This is not complicated.
