Has anyone checked the age of these criminals? I was just thinking that maybe the governor figured they were too old to do anymore crime. I do agree it is not good for the families of the victims. Why not build more prisons out in the bayou somewhere? They wouldn't have too many escape into the waters with cottonmouths and alligators. Build them high enough to withstand storm surges from hurricanes.
You know in the old Testament the Jews or Israelites didn't have prisons. If you murdered, were gay, or committed adultery, you were judged as soon as possible and stoned to death. If you stole, you became a slave of whoever you stole from until the debt was paid. If you molested a child you were stoned. Maybe we should go back to quicker trials and quicker capital punishment with slavery as an option for thieves, and if druggies, work for the state a while and go through cold turkey. Japan has cold turkey laws that if you are drug dependent, they cut your hair, trim your nails, and put you in a padded cell to go through cold turkey or die. They don't have a drug problem.
Our country has become too soft on criminals.
