I hope they get their lives together and become productive members of society. Every case is different. Maybe some of them deserve a slap on the wrist. | ||

What the public is not aware of. Is many of the parole violaters, who have stopped reporting. Are being reinstated on parole, after they are picked up, because of prison overcrowding. In the past when one stopped reporting, once the warrant went out. That individual went back to prison when picked up. | ||

Your sentences. Read like a telegram. But worse. But you have a valid point. How many of these people will just get parole/probation because there is no room in the jails? | ||

Build more jails. Oddly, crime will drop. | ||

"Build more jails". With what? The projected billion and a half state budget deficit? | ||

Karl - MI has more people in prison than any of our neighboring states, yet the crime rate has remained fairly flat. You already knew that, I'm sure. More jails just mean that more low-level criminals get tougher sentences to keep them filled, to keep the staffs employed. For every guy you lock up for selling an ounce of weed, there are three more down the block ready to fill the demand. Less jails, more education, more health care, more prevention, more treatment. | ||

Wasn't it the economist Keynes who argued against passively watching the normal free market business cycle correct its inefficiencies? In the long-run we're all dead, right? Recognizing that this philosophy is the darling of the left (e.g. stop free trade to preserve US jobs) I'll turn the guns around use this argument for the rightist view that jails are good... Our short-term problem is too much illegal activity on the streets today, blanketing our communities w/ violence, fear, drugs, etc. Educate the child lest he become a felon? Sure, but what about his daddy who is breaking into houses today? Lock up the old man today because I don't have time to wait for the rehabilitation of a proven thug. Should manufacturing jobs have been protected to provide an option for those prone to criminal tendencies? Why not, but that ship has sailed and now there is only the certainty that some people who are still working will go home to a burglarized house. How to pay for this?... still working on that one. | ||
