I like that logic, Gracie.

How about this for a novel idea...don't let him out of jail until he's truly worked off his debt to society, including the payment of restitution to his victim's family. Oh, excuse me, but it's "cruel and unusual punishment" to make inmates work. How insensitive of me! Perhaps if they were forced to work for their daily bread like law-abiding citizens, our penal system wouldn't produce so many recidivists. There are more excuses for why an unmotivated person can't hold a job...but if a blind person, or a young mother working two jobs to support her kids, or our military personnel coming home from war with missing body parts, can get out of bed each day to go to work, so can this poor excuse for a human being (heaven forbid he has to walk or ride a bicycle). Maybe the taxpayers' generosity makes it too attractive for him to not do so.
