More Money for More Prisons.

Now, our CA governor wants to build more prisons to solve the overcrowding problems in state prisons. This is not really the right answer. We must do more to lower the recidivism rate, provide alternatives to current sentencing laws and establish stronger family and community ties to prevent crime in the first place. There is a lot more to say on this subject. What do you think?

I remember a time when prisons were called reformatories.
....what ever happened to that idea?


Education is freedom.

In California it's long gone. The word rehabilitiation was written out of the penal code in the early 90s. Sad but true. It's time to change that.
