We have the highest rate of incarceration amongst the 1st world countries. I don't think locking people up fixes the problem.

Generally money from court imposed fines goes to the states general fund. Same fund where most taxes go.

It most likely will go either into their pockets or into illegal immigrants pockets

Why is recycling treated as a consumer responsibility instead of a manufacturer responsibility?

 

(Yes, I know there are some manufacturers who participate in the process, but it’s marginal)

I'm going to assume you're not trying to say that societal laws don't work, rather, you're suggesting locking criminals up isn't a harsh enough penalty.  If that's the case make the penalty more harsh.

I think smaller penalties, but stricter enforcement would be the way to go for non-violent offenses. Increase the police for and try to catch more people. But handle more punishment through community service than incarceration.

Make someone clean trash up alongside the highway for a week rather than lock them up. 

 

 

This is not a topic I care a ton about though to be honest. I don't think imprisoning more people will help deter theft though.

Liberals- crime isn’t a problem. 
Liberals- we enforce the law too much.

Seems a little harsh. Sure they could have used another financial advisor.

Glass must be too.  Our recyclers don't take it.  It cost too much money to recycle apparently.

When I was a dirtbag skibum in my 20's i had some real winners of some roomates.  One was a guy who got busted selling a kg of cocaine to informants, he got a month in jail before I knew him, then I met him working construction and he moved into our party house . He also spent 3 months in the halfway house years later for the crime. He had to spend time in the facility where they transition people from prison to real world. However, it messed him up because it caused he already had a job and the halfway house in montana is in butte so he had to move to a different city for a bit and find a lesser job.

The other guy spent a year in prison for his 6th dui. After I moved away i found out he got his 7th and was back in prison, but i am not sure how long they put you away.

An internet search gives conflicting numbers on actual percent who are non-violent. Either way, my personal opinion, not that it is worth anything, is to put less people in prison for a less amount of time, and also greatly increase police presence to maybe ~10% higher than it was before all of the national cuts.

 

Edit, the guy who got busted for cocaine did turn his life around and owns a construction company in Oregon, however I don't think the other guy ever will.

You think a guy with 6 dui’s shouldn’t do jail time? And yeah, selling coke is a felony. TFB. You would have a case if he was just using it. Then again, no one is getting serious time for possession of coke for personal use, if any.

The DUI guy i completely understand, there is nothing you can do except keep locking him up for a few years in prison.
