Crime and Punishment:
Our system of justice in the US has fallen apart, what we have is a system of plea bargains. Many prosecutors build their career on how many cases they can settle with a plea bargain.
One district attorney that I knew personally, ran for Senator, his whole campaign was based on the fact he had never lost a case while he was district attorney, the other fact he had never taken a case to trail, all plea bargains.
It is a fact we have many innocent people serving time who are innocent, the reason being that when you are facing twenty or more years in the slammer, a plea bargain of 1-year hard time with 5 years probation is just an offer too good to refuse.
Innocent or not, when your poor you have little else to choose, so they are the ones that district attorneys build their hard line reputations on.
The real miscarriage of justice comes when some real bad ass with a big money lawyer gets the same deal, even when guilty of horrendous crimes.
I believe that if you commit the crime you do the time; no more plea-bargains for anybody. You’re thinking that with that system the poor will really come out on the short end of the system.
How do we protect the poor? Actually, it's easier than you may think; for one make our district attorneys do their job; they will have to investigate every case thoroughly.
Any district attorney caught suppressing evidence that could put doubt on the defendants guilt just to get a conviction shall face 5 years in prison. The same prison he is trying to commit the defendant too. All evidence gathered must be shared with the defendants attorney, even if he or she has been appointed by the court, which is the case with most poor defendants.
A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer. Robert Frost
Most court appointed attorneys are either new or retards who can’t make it on their own, regardless very few court appointed attorneys have the knowledge or the balls to stand up to some big shot politically inspired district attorney; don't get me wrong I'm not trying to protect criminals, I'm just leveling the playing field a bit.
Here are my guidelines for sentencing serious offenders; first let me get into drug offenders. Ronald Reagan when president declared "war on drugs" needless to say we got our ass kicked in that war, and might add still are. What is the problem? let me put it to you as gently as possible.
We where and still are fighting the wrong enemy. Hey you ever so bright politicians; it doesn't take a Einstein to figure this one out. For example if you open a car lot and nobody buys your cars you close the doors. If you open a restaurant and nobody wants to eat in the place, your history, turn out the lights and call it quits; what I'm saying is this, go after drug users.
For first time drug users, 1 year of rehabilitation in prison, second offence, 3 years in prison no parole and castration or hysterectomy; these people are incurable, so why permit them to bring their drug addicted babies into this world for the taxpayer to support? Third offence will get them the death penalty.
Okay you bleeding hearts understand one thing; most these hard-core users are also dealing and stealing to support their habit, their dam lucky I’m not sending them all to a crematorium.
First time drug dealers 1 kilo or less $200.000 fine and back to the streets.
Second offence or those dealing more than 1 kilo, $500.000 fine and one year prison time.
For major dealers dealing in more than 5 kilos $1.000.000 fine 2 years in prison.
Robbery with a deadly weapon, Death
Rape with physical force or use of a weapon, Death
Rape with use of drugs or alcohol, the so called date rape.
This is a serious crime usually committed by youth, especially collage students so I am going to go light, if the guilty party is under twenty-five, castration and 5 years probation, if over twenty-five, castration and 5 years in prison.
There is another form of rape that bothers me, that's when a young woman goes to a young mans hotel room or apartment. She can get completely naked and jump into his bed, she can even go as far as having her legs wrapped around his ass, then all of a sudden says no. Buddy you had better pull back or you’re in deep shit.
In case you haven't noticed this usually happens to professional athletes with the brains of a piss ant; but making millions per year; personally I feel that any woman who is stupid enough to go to some young mans hotel room is asking for trouble, or money.
Face it most of these guys are between 20 and 30 years of age , right in the prime of their horny lives, and to top it off most aren't overly bright. You stick some naked woman in their bed and there is no way they will understand the word "no" and throw the stupid bitch out.
What can we do to these clowns; personally, I feel they should be fined $250,000 for first time offenders, $100,000 for the idiot girl, and $150,000 for the court who has had to listen to miss innocents line of bullshit.
Kidnapping, Death
Burglary of any kind, your house car, whatever, 5 years for first time offenders, 20 years for repeat offenders.
This list could go on and on so I'll make it short, what ever the penalties are now, triple them and you'll be close to my plan.
Okay so we might have to build a few more prisons, believe me not too many will be necessary; especially when word gets out that there are no more TVs or Radios, 10 hour work days six days a week and without pay. No gyms or other recreation activities permitted, they’ll get enough of a work out doing their jobs . Your there for two things, work and do your time.
Of course there will be schools and library's, but that's the only diversion I'd permit. Absolutely no parole, unless they've managed to study enough to get a degree.
Also any student who has chosen to educate him or her self will have the time spent studying applied to their work requirements.
Any convict who has studied hard and earned a college degree is eligible for parole upon finding an employer.
