I still say let em rot! why let them take the easy way out and have society pay up the butt for it?
Sparkplug: Sounds like you were on the inside of the system looking out. Im from teh outside looking in if you know what i mean. I find it funny though that we agree on a lot of the same standpoints.
Im not a liberal, im a conservative. But lets be real people. You cant wish someone to do something you cant wish to do yourself. Death Penalty, i dont want to flip the switch. Only time i will is if its for someone's life or limb. Other than that i think its best to let them sit in jail knowing they have 40,60, 80+ more years of their life in this 8x8 concrete block.
Oh and i agree, eff the three strikes law! It is the single biggest contributer to prison overcrowding and the same reason why when you catch a burglar breaking into houses, the jail won't take him. So for weeks on end you have been arresting a guy, taking him to jail, and he gets kicked back out due to overcrowding. He knows they cant to do anything to him for a while so why stop?
We seem to be the only people on this thread with personal experience of the legal system, and its many flaws. Im not asking for violent criminals to get any other different treatment, just the same treatment. We didnt fight for equal rights laws for everyone for years, just to turn around, and take ourselves back o caveman times. If you dont like the way we deal with things, look at other countries, where they just murder criminals, or live by the eye for an eye law, they arent doin so hot last time I checked.
