Another example of how well our goverment can run something.
and when she is convicted again, she will serve less time. more time on the street, means more drugs she can sell, more babys she can kill, more lives she can ruin. who came up with the idea of letting them out early, 15 years should be 15 years.
They want more more money for the prisons then stop buying TV's for them to watch, stop buying recreational equipment for them to work out, stop putting them through school while in jail, take that money and spend it on the prisons beds and expansions. They are in prison because they broke the law, why allow them any amenitites? selling drugs is not a victimless crime, making drugs is not a victimless crime. if you think so then ask all these little children in the system if its victimless. The prison system could always do what bartlett did to save money feed em corn dogs three times a day to save money then put it towards the prisons. it got him $300,000.00 in what 2-3 yrs?
if igonarnce is bliss, this county is paradise. these comments prove it.
These comments just go to show that the people of this county are fed up with people that break the law getting away with it or being allowed to serve such a short sentence. Selling and doing drugs is a choice, you make the choice to do either one you should serve what ever sentence you are given, not be up for parole in 4 months, this just shows all the others that havent been caught yet if I go to trial I wont be there long.
put me on the jury and i will show you how to sentence these idiots.
tammy if you mean what i think you mean, then wait till one of your family is killed by one of these drug crazed idiots, then lets see what your oppinion is.
One way to free up plenty of money is to quit sentencing so many criminals to life without parole and start using capital punishment. If you are in for life, what kind of life do you have anyway. Also, if someone is sentenced to death row, make it to where they have 1 year to exhaust all of the appeals possible, then execute them. Stop this senseless waste of money by keeping people in jail for 30 and 40 years. If you can rehabilitate someone in 10 years, then 40 isn't going to do it either. If they deserve 40 years, then they deserve execution. Prison is a waste of money they way it is currently run! Oh, and for anyone that tries to comment to me, "What if it was your family member in prison or what if it was your child, parent, sibling, whatever...it was!" Guess what? I still feel the same way,
