[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is because violent repeat offenders are not prosecuted and if they are it us too light of a sentence before they are released from jail.

There needs to be mandatory incarceration of mentally ill who are convicted or crimes it found not mentally competent.

Reed’s criminal record includes nearly 50 prior arrests since 2017, with past convictions for arson, aggravated battery, and assault. [/quote]

THIS. All of it. [/quote]

Throwing people in jail seems to have done a great job of preventing crime. /s

We have the highest number of incarcerated people in the world and yet still plenty of crime. Throwing people in jail is not working. Maybe fix the actual problems instead of throwing people away. [/quote]

If someone is in prison, they are not a threat to the public. The number of people in prison is irrelevant. We have more prisoners because we have more criminals. We are past the point where people give a crap if somebody is mentally ill or had a rough childhood. If we have to double the number of people in prisons to make things safe for people simply traveling to work, so be it.[/quote]

Do you honestly believe Americans are more criminal than everywhere else is the developed world, or do we just maybe have the most poverty? And maybe turning prisons into a vehicle for profit making inevitably leads to more people being thrown in prison? [/quote]

No, I believe, and the stats back this, that it’s the usual suspects committing these crimes and other developed nations don’t have the same demographics as the U.S.

Poverty isn’t causing people to be violent, culture is. [/quote]
