re: #534 Obdicut

Oh give me a fucking break. “leftist judges” are not the problem. The law was passed at the behest, mainly, of the prison union, so they could make more fucking money.

It was sold as being because of ‘leftist judges’. It overtaxes our prisons, and means any criminal facing their third strike might as well carry a fucking gun with them on their next robbery since they’re not getting out of jail anyway.

It is a godawful system that is costing us billions and has nothing good to show for it.

I’m with you on most of that, but I can’t believe the corrections personnel need or want more violent cases in their overcrowded care. My daughter is a teacher behind the wire, and she sure as hell doesn’t.
