But, I do believe that our justice system is overly punitive in general, and the 4-5 lurid stories people have highlighted out of 400 pardons doesn't change that fact. It's disappointing to see that this has sparked some outrage and calls for harsher sentencing from people who otherwise believe in ending mass incarceration.He wants to cap all setences at 20 years. I fucking hate liberals sometimes. They got bright ideas, that doesnt work in the real world. This dude is the definition od a joke and soyboy. I agree that NON violent offenders shouldnt serve much time, bit one dude cut off his partners head, mother fucker should serve life you do realize that countries that have caps on prison time usually have soft caps, right? Anders Breivik got the max of 21 years under Norwegian law, but he is subject to psychological tests before being released. If he's still found to be a danger to society, his sentence can be increased and they can keep him in prison (effectively indefinitely). This is exactly how it should be. Life in prison should be the exception used as needed, not the default. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
