I'm all for leniency in the justice system, because sometimes shit happens, but I'm also for cruel and unusual punishment, prison slave labor for the convicted, and shorter sentences. Prison should be a place you don't want to go because life is horrible in every aspect, not just because you're gonna get butt-raped once in a while if you don't have protection inside. There should also be a substantially effective rehabilitation and reintegration program.
Oh, and I'm also for eliminating prison sentences for drug related crimes.
Alot of people toss that around, but what is a drug related crime? No prison if a crackhead stabs someone for some money to buy crack? Is that not drug related?
I'm assuming you mean for people caught with drugs. Since most people don't do much time (if any) for weed, that leaves shit like heroin/crack/etc.....and I can guarantee you that the idiots who do that shit are not doing a single legal thing to get money for it.
