Liberals: Let's Relax Laws to Reduce Percentage of Minorities in Prisons

We have laws already for "under the influence." They're already enforced.

Just don't arrest the guy walking down the street high. Yes, arrest the surgeon and the bus driver, if they did something already covered by a law like murder or mayhem or criminal negligence.

so AFTER death and MAYHEM happen

awesome

cow and barn door:rolleyes:


why not? he may rob or rape someone

or

walk unaware into traffic and cause MURDER and MAYHEM

Yes. After actual crime takes place, that would be ideal.

Crimes happen, we can work toward preventing them.

In the meantime, let's punish what happened and not what potentially happened. In that way, we keep prison population down, don't put otherwise innocent people away, and we focus on the actual bad guys. We are overpopulated.

Nothing we have in place can keep that doctor or (firman?) from doing something anyway.

In the meantime, let's punish what happened and not what potentially happened. In that way, we keep prison population down..........why is that good or bad>, don't put otherwise innocent people away,........innocents ARENT in jail, law breakers are and we focus on the actual bad guys. We are overpopulated.

:cool:
 
The statistics for number of people in prison in the US per 100,000 of population are significantly higher than almost every other country except Russia.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/06/prisons/html/nn2page1.stm

US 737 per 100,000
Russia 615
England and Wales 148

The crime rate in England and Wales is much lower than the US however you count it.

It is expensive to keep people in prison. In the UK our prisons are at or over capacity already. We couldn't afford a US rate of incarceration, nor would we need to.
 
Which laws do liurhulz want to relax that you think shouldn't relax?


Oh look...not a single fucking mo-ran on the Reich wing has anything approaching a coherent, on topic response.....

Nothing more than frivolous manufactured outrage....


I'm fucking shocked....LOL
 
What do you expect when they worship Saint Ronnie, Rush and Ted Cruz?
 
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, except for maybe North Korea.

And if you ask me, it isn't nearly high enough.

And it isn't just poor black men who belong. Throw everyone who breaks the law in prison. And teach them how to make it not happen again while they're in there - enough of turning prisons into crime colleges. Turn them into rehab and training facilities. So yes, the prison rate would be much higher this way.

Temporarily.

Seeing as how more people would be disinclined to reoffend, the rate would drop dramatically after a while.

Except that's not traditionally how it happens.

Jail means criminals spend lots of time with other criminals and learn how to be better criminals.

Take a look at how Norway treats their prisoners - also criminals - and tell me there isn't a better way to rehab criminals.
 
Repeal the fucking drug laws! Prohibition causes crime.

Yep, and enforcement is expensive.
Plus, prohibition eliminates any effective controls.

Liquor store owner will rarely sell booze to a minor.
Why?
Well the owner can likely lose his liquor licence, which means loss of livelyhood and possible jail time.

A drug deal has no compunction is this regard. To him, one person's cash spends just like another's, the sanctions he faces are rarely any worse and his suppliers will happily re-supply him as soon as he's available.

Besides, what criminal cartel has ever, EVER been able to successfully compete with a corporation out to make a legal profit?
