Roy, truer words were never spoken. As the article states, Florida is tough on crime. What is wrong with swinging from the human warehousing business to trying to reduce recidivism? A lot of them WILL come back, but educating (at least to a GED level) and offering drug treatment as well as vocational training has been proven to reduce recidivism. The federal system uses it along with inmate labor to build our new buildings (the non secure ones) – areas like green houses, education buildings and the like. We use inmate tutors overseen by a staff teacher to help educate and so forth. I think it’s a great idea and could create jobs other than corrections positions – although the new staff can fill in for those positions if necessary. Some people are worth saving – let’s give them a chance.

Are you sure you know what you are talking about?

Even if so, I can well imagine there being people who stole billions of dollars from widows and retirees and we wouldn’t want them to be able to continue to do so. Others might be non-violent but do great harm by vandalism, including hacking. You might even consider arson to be non-violent since it isn’t committed against a person even though it often kills people.

These can do much harm if loose.

Again, I don’t know what you are really trying to say, so it might make perfect sense if I understood it better.

David for perfect justice

I say send them over to the Bio Mass Plant and put them to good use.
