Jail is not the only solution.... But in Oregon we have a severe problem
One man stole more than 100 cars (I believe it was 124) before he was charged even once.
The police will not arrest because they say the DA won't charge on certain crimes or certain levels of crime.
The DA will say he lacks beds... and it is true... often, way to often, a criminal will be out in a week for lack of bed space and a number of early release programs weighed on severity to help ease space.
We have a prison and a jail built, the power works, everything is ready... but they are not opened.
While I believe in alternatives, we need the space to help make it beyond a 'time out'. I lived with a number of people fresh out from jail when I got scammed. All of them were also ex-addicts though I do not know their crimes. However the nature of the program was that only one got arrested again, one other relapsed and the rest were doing well.
You might label me an all of the above type in crime issues. I believe in rehab, I believe in jail time, I believe in second chances, I believe in chain gang work, I believe in profiling and I believe in throwing the whole book at repeat offenders.
Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!
