Don't want to violate their rights...oh no... They get better healthcare than working people, better food too...
Our whole system is screwed up. The victim or victims family in cases of death, should be the one to determine punishment. We'd have a whole lot less crime that way. Or, three strikes should mean three strikes and you're OUT...gone, to meet your maker...or the other guy.
Unfortunately, punishment has become a for profit business. Prison are becoming private, owned by corporations. With occupancy GUARANTEES. Think about that... Now think about it some more if you're not outraged. The government is bound by contract to guarantee a certain number being incarcerated at any given time. I read somewhere, the average person commits 3 felonies a day. Thing you didn't know were illegal and shouldn't be...but are.
Like I said, the whole system is screwed up.
