well the way i see it, you give them their chance to turn their life around (not saying that they dont' need harsher punishments as it stands now) but don't lock them up and throw away the key on them....maybe i'm just more sympathetic then most, i dunno what it is i just don't see the logic in it. if i could make changes it would be longer terms for first time violators and massive treatment, then upon release should they do it again THEN you lock them away for good or do away with them. guess no one see's my point of view on this
