Default $1500 Cash Reward---- Thieves Caught and Jailed

I submit I can find statistics showing a higher correlation between high
employment levels (a robust economy) and lower crime rate than any
correlation statistics you can find for tougher sentencing yielding lower
crime rate.

You ever read, or at least see one of the film versions of, Les Miserables
by Victor Hugo? Would you have insisted Jean Valjean have his fingers cut
off? You do know what his original offense was, don't you? And the original
sentence? No fair looking up the answer! :-)

Say - did you know the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 required the return of
escaped slaves to their owners? A pretty clear cut law - so how would you
have handled a situation where you knew of an escaped slave?

I didn't say it was the only solution or even the best solution, just
part of the solution.

No, I have not seen this film.

I'm not familiar with that law as I'm not as old as you! :-)

How do you feel about the millions of undocumented immigrants who
illegally enter our nation? Do you think they should be lined up,
bent over and raped? Is that the kind of nation you'd be proud to be
part of?


No, that's too harsh. Just being sent home would be good enough for
me. Heck, I'd be happy if anyone in law enforcement even cared enough
to SCARE 'em a little. But that won't happen.

Back to this thread -- congrats on busting the punks! Personally, I'd
be in favor of the death penalty for crimes of this nature -- but
instead maybe they'll at least do some hard time and have to pay some
serious fines.

However, since they don't have any prior criminal records, they'll
probably just get "probation" and be right back at it within a few
months...

It is my understanding this is not unusual at all in today's jails and prisons.
All the more reason not to do anything to get thrown into one.

You certainly seem to be fixated on rape. Any particular reason?

"Joey, you like movies about gladiators?"

"You ever been in a cockpit before?"
"No sir, I've never been up in a plane before."
"You ever ...seen a grown man naked?"

"Joey, did you ever hang around a gymnasium?"

"Joey, have you ever been ...in a, aTurkish prison?"

So you think the US military's behavior in Abu Grave was appropriate?
You have no respect for the rule of law.

I'm reacting to this crass statement:

Well, now these young men get to find out what its like in an

ass-pounding prison...

Please try to keep up with the discussion.

Condoning lawlessness within the nation's prison systems is
reprehensible as it condones crime not the rule of law. Can't you see
that?

The intent of punishment for criminal behavior should be
rehabilitation, not vengeance. I believe restitution should play a
large role in sentencing. That way a criminal sees that s/he does not
benefit from their criminal acts, but compensates victims instead.

The chances of rehabilitating a first time offender through brutality
are nil. It only fosters resentment not contrition.

Of course, our privatized penal system offers no incentive to
rehabilitate criminals. Quite the contrary, it rewards contractors
like Wackenhut* for each inmate.
