Emailed to me by Kevin Fischer:
On any given day, America locks down some 2.3 million people. And almost all eventually get out. Some 656,000 or so emerge every year; about two thirds of them end up behind bars again.
Why does this happen?
How about because most people who commit crimes have made many many bad choices throughout their whole lives, and they finally got caught.
Do we give criminals too much credit?
Are we too easy on them?
What do you think about three strikes and your out?

I think that people have the right to life liberty and security no matter what mistakes they make in life. The fact that many prisoners are re-offenders is likely a reflection of a poor penal system.
Also, i think you have an "edit me" linky left on your sidebar.
But what do i know, i'm just a leftist wingnut.
way to shift the blame off the criminal...exactly why people/communities stay poor for generations...read through my blog...you'll understand exactly what I mean
Yeah, we see exactly what ignoramouses mean...
Game, there is such a thing as a poor penal system here in America, land of the crapola.
Read my lips: Poor penal institutions exist in the U.S.
Poor penal institutions exist in the U.S.

GWB can do it to us with fear, fear, fear, terrorism, terrorism, terrorism.
Now it's our intention to give it back.
