Mandatory jail time for violent criminals?

Question

I believe that ANY individual over the age of 18 who commits a violent crime and is convicted AND if there is DNA evidence as confirmation of their guilt, said offender should be locked up for a MINIMUM of 25 years with NO PAROLE... end of story... 1 rape, 1 assault, one murder... and MANDATORY JAIL TIME for any human who attempts to evade the police for ANY reason... even if the person goes thru a stop sign and they lead the police on a chase that would be a mandatory 5 years without exception. What better predictor of criminal behavior than not obeying the police?

Answer 1

I think you are right, but I think we should execute the people who do the first crimes you mentioned. Locking people up for 25 years is expensive, and even if the person changes completely (doubtful) they won't be much good to law abiding citizens.

Answer 2

Actually, "Lulu", the jury attempts to determine guilt and the judge decides penalty within the guidelines that are established for him by the legislature. One improvement to these guidelines in recent years, first proven effective in the state of Virginia, and adopted since in some other states, is the law that imposes mandatory ADDITIONAL jail time, WITHOUT PAROLE, for felonies committed with a firearm. You may not realize that this came into being through the efforts of "NRA", the National Rifle Association. Liberal leftists have been dragging their feet on the idea of making this law universal throughout the country.

Answer 3

I think we should go back to the old "eye for and eye' type of punishment, If you steal, you lose a hand, if you kill or rape you die, if you beat a man, you get beaten. All of these things followed by prison time. I also think that we should bring back chain gains and make the people in prison do the things that most people do not want to do, it is cheap labor. It is a proven fact that prison's do detur crime maybe losing a hand will.

Answer 4

Are you a police officer? Or are you God? You cannot make judgements for anyone only the jury decides. I agree, I don't like criminals they should be punished. We need people to fight the war were in so I disagree with you. I think the criminals should fight in the Middle East, but that's my opinion...

Answer 5

i think of that categorical; the punishment for stealing infant help (despite in case you're denying the mum & infant money, or despite if the mum has fraudulently obtained money) might desire to be a similar for the two occasion, although possibly greater severe in the situation you're describing, as a results of fact the guy isn't in elementary terms depriving people of money, yet mendacity and hurting them knowingly in the approach. jointly as i think of that penal complex time for infant help is a particularly stupid theory customarily, different than often times, if the lads are being despatched there for not paying, then the ladies might desire to unquestionably to subjected to that besides. possibly deferred till the newborn is eighteen/21? (i'm a childless women, so do not misunderstand this next area as an offended, bitter rant from a guy who would not choose to pay) lots of the guidelines approximately infant help disgust and anger me. here in va, despite in case you have defrauded, you nevertheless might desire to pay infant help till at last the newborn is eighteen, as a results of fact which you caught around/paid thinking it grew to become into your individual, being lied to. women might desire to be HELD to blame, TOO. they say the guidelines are there for the newborn, yet what infant advantages from having a probable promiscuous, truthfully duplicitous, and an extremely-probably leech on society of a mom. they're going to easily produce greater of a similar.

Answer 6

I think we should gas them all. Anyone who would intentionally hurt another person should not be allowed to live...jail is too good for them... Especially child molesters and pedophiles...
