RE: Prison life and a non effective prison system.
Awesome read my man.
Do you think the sentencing for non violent crimes need to be reduced or lengthened?
For me, I see too many people getting sentenced for way to long for a non violent crime.
You know, everybody makes mistakes in life, and have to pay the consequences of their actions, but I think there's a flaw in the system.
Also, like you mentioned, I don't think people who have done a non violent crime deserve to be locked in with killers, murderers and rapists. I don't think that helps at all.
I fell like the sentences for non violent offenders should be shortened. Some of the sentencing guidelines are ridiculous.
I find in drug related cases, they are especially too long and need to be shortened. People with drug problems need help, not to be locked up.
That's just my two cents.
You hit it on the nail!!!!! The government is too worried about the money than help someone out
