Perhaps while they are behind bars that there is at least some attempt made to rehabilitate them?

Turn the prison into a prison instead of a hospice would be a start. They get away with more in there than they ever could out here. Good example: I read a few years back an inmate won the right to have yogurt for lunch through the court system... he's lactose intolerant. The real answer though is something we'll never find since that "cruel and unusual" amendment has been used indiscriminately. In essence, if they come back to prison after serving a term.. send them to a cold, dark place where the food is bad, you don't get visits, the only people you see are guards and the only gangs have chains. Another method would be to use corporal punishment but that's been pretty much outlawed here as "cruel".

For starters..stop letting them live better than I and other Americans who have worked our butt off do.. they should get no TV, no education, no libraries to read, etc. they definately should not get FREE healtchare. We have citizens in the US who have NEVER committed a crime and they can't afford healthcare.. in a prison, people on death row can even get "transplants". Do you know how many Americans die yearly waiting on transplants but prisoners can get them before other people.. They eat better than I do on OUR money.. y wouldn't criminals want to go back to jail..they get good food, education, healthcare, not only free but they get frist choice of treatment in the ER, etc. Start treating them like prisoners and MAKE them have to earn their healthcare, rights, etc.

Yes, all states should use that - dang.. I forgot his name, but you know the sheriff who makes them live in tents, they have no luxuries... only necessities, and he makes them sweat in the heat and work hard. I would think he has very few return guests.. haha. All the government has to do is make prison life not so appealing.

do you know that over 40% of the U.S. population has been in a criminal courtroom or at least paid a criminal fine in the U.S.?
Our legal system is to make money, and to do this they just write so many laws that you will break one sooner or later!
