Good--too many are in prison over trivial non-violent BS. We are the World's leading jailer and often non-violent drug "criminals" receive harsher sentencing than a murderer or rapist, (thanks to 3 strike laws).
yeah well, every day there is at least one shooting in Philly so, not sure if I can go along with you there
It is interesting that the two states are Maine and Vermont that allow prisoners to vote. Maine is one of the only states in our Nation that has prisoners crafting articles to be sold: Maine Department of Corrections: Prison Showroom Gallery. We have furniture in our house that we have bought from that store. What I am saying is that they operate their prison system differently than many other states.
I would not be in favor of allowing prisoners to vote without knowing their immigration status. Maine has fought against REAL ID: https://www.dhs.gov/real-id/maine.
cannot rep you, you know the deal, however, this was another great post. Thank you

I am ALL for locking up VIOLENT criminals-even though most of the violence is directly related to the War on "Drugs" and the black market economy which would not exist if not for prohibition.

We are the worlds leading criminal base...period....
your everyday commoner is now becoming criminals, b/c all the federal and state cutbacks first effect police and fireman....and the result is, not enough police.
You watch when there is a speed trap set up, and how quickly people slow down....
Most of your accidents today are happening b/c people are driving recklessly...with phones, texting, running traffic lights....I'm seeing a whole lot of people tail gating, and rolling thru stop signs...
everyone feels they are above the law....
Trash along side of the road is disgusting....
I swear, humans are the dumbest animal alive....and yet, it's all their fault....when people once again, start respecting laws, rules and regulations, it will change, but not before...and that is why this country is so crime ridden....
I think all adults should be eligible to vote if they are citizens of the country.
