Don’t be fooled. Arrest means nothing.
Appropriate jail time means something.

Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) once had the answer, back when he was the mayor of Richmond.  He pioneered Project Exile, the key feature being:

- federal incarceration at a prison at least 50 miles from the convict’s residence.

The 50+ miles is crucial.  Recidivism under Senator Kaine’s program dropped to single digits.  And lowering recidivism is the key to breaking the crime cycle we are stuck in.

The 50+ Mike provision was so effective because our current model jails convicts close to home, where they know some or many of their fellow inmates, and their family/girlfriends are very close by.

This 50+ mile factor may not seem significant to you.  But you do not live in the same world as these convicts.  Do not delude yourself; they seriously live in a mindset you cannot comprehend.

Sadly, Senator Kaine was attacked - from within his own party - over Project Exile with the false but all too common accusation it was “racist.”

Tim Kaine needs to revisit his earlier success and champion the program nation wide as a way to rescue our crime-plagued cities.  The current “no incarceration” program is clearly not working, and innocent people are dying.[/quote]
