[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 2897065, member: 24577"] Well I can tell you being a recovering drug addict that some of the stuff I almost did to get dope would have cause me to go to prison. And it was non violent. Should I have been let off just because it was a drug related crime? I don't think so. Now I don't think sending someone that is addicted to a drug to prison is the right approach. Because usually they get worse while there. My next door neighbor was a prime example. He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth yet when he got older he started using meth and it ruined him. He is now serving Prison time because of his addiction. And he belongs there. They initially gave him a break and then he messed up again. Again, another break. Then the third they sent him to rehab. Well he stated for about a month then left and got busted again. Now he has been in prison for at least 6-7 years. He did some non violent stuff but had a firearm. And they nailed him for it. He's where he belongs. Some of these people DESERVE to be in prison. Not released. And I guarantee that a big majority of them are blacks. I guarantee that 90% of them will go right back to doing what they were. And end up right back in prison. They new what they were doing when they chose to sell drugs. I don't feel a bit sorry for them because they got caught. It destroys people's Lives. But hey who's gives a crap right? Now I am sure not all of them were guilty of dealing. Some were probably addicts. If they are willing to go to treatment and stay there and make a big effort to change them by all means let them out. But if not they deserve to be in prison. Not released early. [/QUOTE]
