for all you Forest Pass scofflaws

“For the first time in history, more than one in every 100 American adults is in jail or prison, according to a new report tracking the surge in inmate population and urging states to rein in corrections costs with alternative sentencing programs.

 

“The report, released Thursday by the Pew Center on the States, said the 50 states spent more than $49 billion on corrections last year, up from less than $11 billion 20 years earlier. The rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than for higher education spending, the report said.”

I thank God for all the diligent legislators who tirelessly pass new laws year after year. Without them we might not even recognize all the criminality around us!

That number doesn't intuitively sound correct to me. However I'll agree to the sediment that we have too many damn laws and restrictions.

[tvashtarkatena]

It's correct.

[sexual_chocolate]

the corrector has spoken.

[tvashtarkatena]

Correct.

[sexual_chocolate]

thank you.

I copy & paste, you decide.

Let's thanks guns again:

 

 

and let's thank the ladies:

 

 

 

and eastern medicine:

 

 

and let's not forget to thank Aikido:

[tvashtarkatena]

thank you.

 

Don't thank me. Thank the War on Drugs and mandatory sentencing laws, such as 3 strikes.

 

There are over 2 million convicted people in the criminal justice system, BTW.

[StevenSeagal]

I agree. All these laws and restrictions are really clogging things up around here.

[sexual_chocolate]

thank you, war on drugs.

[Stefan]

this actually is good news.

 

what it means is: It will be too costly to run the justice system, so laws need to change, so they only keep the really bad people.

 

One result, the legalizing of small amounts of pot.

 

Its coming.

[ClimbingPanther]

so laws need to change

or Steven Seagal needs to stop bringing so many people to justice...

[rob]

yeah, fuck you steven.

: Gene LeBell(notice proper spelling) choked out Steven Segal twice. Steven saw doing grappling take downs with other stunt men while on a break while shooting a film for Segal. Segal stated that no one could do a go behind on him and that he was the best martial artist in the world. Gene, 59 at the time, said it would be rather easy to do a go-behind on Segal, and Segal took up the challenge. Segal paid no heed to the fact that 'JUDO' Gene LeBell is the 'Toughest Man Alive'. Gene easily took Segal down and choked him unconciencious. Segal, after being revived, challenged Gene again, saying that he was not ready. this time as Gene went behind Segal, Segal attempted to grab LeBell by the groin. Gene snatched Segal up spun him around to avoid a curb and again choked Segal unconcious. This time Segal's bowels gave up and he messed his pants.

I blame Canada.

NEVER HAPPENED! OLD NEWS. MOVE ALONG.

cant we just start executing until the number is below 1 in 100?

[Hendershot]

What we need is another committee! Committees fix everything.

[OlympicMtnBoy]

Oooh, ooh, pick me! Pick me! I volunteer for the Committee to Fix Everything! Oh and the one to execute the bad people! Is there a committee to choke Steven Segal? I'll be on that one too!
