Does that suggest the war on crime is being won or lost?
we need to quit whining about incarcerating our prisoners: the other countries just kill them. we're big spenders, is all. what with the sudden belt tightening though that might all change. bullets are cheap. and the prisoners will be culled before the guards.
Couldn't agree more, jj. I just saw a TV documentary about a woman on death row who killed another prisoner while she was waiting for the death that will never come, most likely. She'd been on d.r. for 12 years when they made the show. Remorese? She's proud of what she did. And we're feed the damn pig.
See, I was so incensed I misspelled "remorse" and left the "ing" off of "feeding."
