Rudy turned NY around but he couldn’t accomplish this.
For Reed, who said he has struggled with an addiction to crack cocaine, going to jail has meant losing his disability checks, his only source of income. Without income, he has no way to pay rent, and he fears that unless a family member can take him in, he will be homeless when he is released in September.
I have zero sympathy for this guy. He shoplifted a set of bedsheets from Target, and relies on disability money and theft to support his drug habit. He needs to be in jail.
Execution isn’t appropriate for most offenses. Deportations are a good start but only if you have a way to keeping the offenders from returning. Prison is expensive but a fairly humane form of punishment though not always effective. We need to reshape the culture which glorifies the criminal and demonizes the law abiding. Good luck with that
Make the jails someplace they never ever want to be
And teach that to their 14 kids before they break laws
Crime INCREASED in the pandemic
> Incarceration costs... $50k per inmate <
I’ve read that the average criminal causes 200k worth of damage per year. I don’t know how accurate that figure is, but it is something to consider.
New York Legislature Passes Parole Reform Bill Intended To Slash Prison Population
God help NYS.
Sure! What the h#ll! Anything goes these days!
However, prisons are Big Business for Wisconsin, so I’ll bet ours are already at capacity, again. I don’t remember reading that Wisconsin was letting anyone out, just segregating the sick from the well.
Our Super Max accommodations for the worst of the worst are the best of the best! Y’all Come! ;)
Room for us.
Send them all to The Island.
Pick an unhabited tropical atoll that has fresh water and drop them off.
Every inmate gets their prison garb and a bedroll.
Send non-perishable food with the prison transfer team.
No lights.
No TV.
No radio.
No law library.
No gym.
Inmates’ sole goal is to live long enough to serve out their time and LEAVE.
Build more. Many more.
We could significantly improve the state of crime, mental health, homelessness, and criminal punishment if we opened up the state-run mental hospitals and treated the seriously mentally ill as sick people who sometimes need treatment, sometimes need to be segregated from society. That said, there’s no way I trust the government who is currently holding dozens to hundreds of nonviolent protestors as political prisoners to say who is crazy and who isn’t.
More executions = fewer prisons needed
Another way to do it would be to stop pampering criminals. We can’t just open our jails. That is one of the main reasons crime has increased.
Sure, but I think the cemeteries would be a good place for some.
They [the jails] will soon be filled with Trump supporters.
