Time for another rant.
How I would drastically reduce crime.
First
Get rid of the death penalty.
I don't think we should judge weather someone lives or dies. I would also make all rapists, murderers and pedophiles go to a hard core prison in Alaska. This way they would be afraid to commit the crime. I believe most poeple that do these crimes do not want to live. This will no longer give them an easy way out. This will also help people that have been wrongly committed of a crime. If someone is wrongly committed and proven innocent, they should be compensated in some way.
Second
Open mental hospitals in prisons. This way we would get all the druggies off the street and get them cleaned up (if possible). This would go along with my belief that prisons should rehabilitate prisoners, not keep them off the street. Lifers will not get this option. You do not need to be rehabilitated if you're going to rot in prison for the rest of your life. I agree with George W Bush in that we should have faith based organizations help people recover and re-adjust to society.
third
I would have gangbangers and other group related criminals clean the highways. This would scare them into getting their life in order.
fourth
Get rid of any kind of video games or TV entertainment in prison. We should not have to pay to give criminals luxuries. I would still let them read certain books because I think books can really help you improve your life. If they get textbooks, they should get the outdated ones that the schools are done using.
I honestly believe if we did this it would seriously reduce crime and make life easier for everyone.
