Hardly a scare crow argument. I wonder if this senator has any ties to the current prison system, and how they get paid. Prisoners per head on average cost more than the average median income of some states. Only 622 million in Louisiana. I am all for giving a guy his day in court, and many of the cases that are being turned over are cases that are many years old. As the years go by, the number of incarcerated innocent people will go down. I am all for the death penalty, because it is supposed to be a deterrent rather than a final punishment. That is the problem with they system as a whole today. The punishments are supposed to be harsh, to encourage human behavior. Like everything else though, we have watered it all down to the point that no one really cares. Religion, watered down, Politics, watered down, Society, watered down, Morality, watered down, Responsibility, watered down, Self Control, watered down, Freedom, watered down. Why not just continue to water down the justice system as well.
Any system where a few people profit off of the many people, especially those on the receiving end of our tax dollars, will have a certain amount of corruption. The masses today value money, and power over all else. As long as our relaxed moral code is accepted, and continues to become more relaxed our society will continue to devolve into madness.
No kidding,Prisons are big business nowadays,Follow the money trail!
