Yes. I recall that. That is a dark road to go down though. That genetics dictates future behavior.

I went though many of my clients files while a student lawyer at the U of MN Law School if I had their permission to do so. I was wondering what had put them in Minnesota Correctional Facility-- Stillwater. Some of them looked like basically just bad people others seemed to have made a bad choice at some point.

I had a lot of talks like this with a man whom I worked under who ran concession stands in and around Reno and Carson City. He became the Warden of the Lovelock Correctional Facility where OJ Simpson just left. He retired a while ago though. Probably before or slightly after OJ Simpson got there. Simpson looks like someone with little impulse control. Snaps when he is not in control of things he wants to dictate.

Looking out for one another seems to be the best answer while informed with the best information available.

My former employer who became the Warden I remember did like to research various issues of crime and punishment.
