I do agree to some extent.
The DOC does need programming geared to the NATURE OF THE CRIME even if the facility is 10-hours from their family.
Obviously, nature of the crime would dictate when they would begin treatment as some non-murder crimes carry over 20-years.
SEX OFFENDERS should be in their own prison & go to "treatment" 6-8hr/day X 6 days/wk. SO's need treatment more than "social programs".
YEARS of intense SUPERVISION IS NEEDED upon release!
Thank you for taking the time to make a nice video showing your point-of-view!
I have some land on Jupiter I want to sell you. Cheap too:)
Get a clue. Your idealistic views are far fetched and completely askew.
Crime has been happening since the beginnig of time. Nothing will ever change that. Reform can only come to those who want it...and very very few want it. Reform is a choice. You can't force a person to change...no matter how hard you try.
I AM safer that offenders who re-offended (2-3 times) are locked in a HOSprison (on a civil committment).
Perhaps one change could be made & that is to have a HOS-Prison (like Atascadero/Coalinga) (minus 90% of priveledges given to "patient status") where people could go on their FIRST OFFENSE.
No college. 6-8 hr/day of "treatment". If they reoffend ONCE after 15-years of treatment *with SOLID post-release care* TOSS THE KEY AWAY!
