[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4097630, member: 42584"] - The United States has more people, per capita, in prison than any other country on this planet. The answer is not to just keep building and stocking prisons ad infinitum which has never, and will never, resolve the situation. - The "Three Strike" laws were a step in the right direction except that being sent to prison is no longer a deterrent. For many a return to prison is just a homecoming back to hanging-out with their 'homies'. - We need to make prison life so draconian and unpleasant that those once released, would rather die than ever return. For some, being in prison is all they know, so some sort of long-term therapy needs to be included to teach them actual marketable skills (life & job) and that there are better ways to live besides being in prison. Employers also need to get on board and employ those that successfully complete prison retraining programs so these people CAN make a meaningful living . . . AND . . . revamp the "Three Strike" laws so that a third-strike automatically ends in immediate execution. Pretty sure than someone that continues to be sent to prison for committing felonies, one after another over time is NOT going to change their ways. - For those on death-row, there is a higher probability that they will die of old-age before their sentence for execution is ever carried out. Lawyers need to stop withholding vital evidence in order to 'string-out' their clients time, allowing for retrial after retrial after retrial because of some "new" evidence being brought-to-light.
