The Judicial System

The Judicial system in the U.S.A.

The judicial system in the U.S. is in need of a drastic overhaul.

For one we have people incarcerated  for 10 years  to life in prison for crimes committed 20 years ago, today for the same crime you get a slap on the wrist and probation, or at the most 1 or 2 years in prison.

 Our thinking in the 1980’s was to limit or at least lower crime in America, needless to say it didn’t work, instead we’ve turned the U.S. into the world’s   greatest prison population, more than doubled that of the 1980’s bigger than Russia and China combined.

Over 2 million are now doing time, and the worst of this is that over 68% upon being released will be returned to prison for new crimes within 3 years, 77 % will return within 5 years.

So much said for our current rehabilitation programs.

For many inmates they have a better life in prison than being   on the streets, then we turn them lose to commit more crimes having learned new skills for committing bigger crimes.

Here is what must be done to make big changes.

1.       We must turn our prisons into institutions of higher learning.

2.       For example, for prisoners serving a 5 year or more sentences, without a high school diploma can have 2 years removed from his or her sentence by simply getting a GED high school diploma.

3.       For those serving  5 to 20 years can have their sentenced reduced by 50 % by getting a Collage degree, and be eligible for immediate parole

4.       For those learning a journeyman’s qualification in any of the trades, such as carpenter, electrician, plumbers, painters  etc  etc,  can have their sentenced reduced by 50% and be eligible for immediate parole.

We have turned our prison system into home for deadbeats, at a cost of $44 thousand to $70 thousand dollars per year.

They eat for free, free clean sheets as well as clothing, free medical care and even free dental care; they even get their hair cut for free.

Many of these men and women have no business being in our present prison system, they are mentally unfit for dealing with society and should be moved out into mental instructions.

For illegals, The first time deportation, the second time 1 year in prison followed by deportation.

For illegals caught committing a felony crime it’s an automatic 10 years or more, depending on their crime  in prison followed by deportation.
