PEOPLE IN JAIL.

And itt's costing all of us an arm and a leg. Our taxes go to make sure they don't pay any taxes -- for years and years and years.

There's a better way. And that's separating violent, constant and otherwise heinous/aggravated offenders from petty, nonviolent criminals and drug addicts. With the latter, the criminal justice system needs to stress rehabilitation. It's just the PRAGMATIC thing to do.

You, on the other hand, would rather PAY A LOT MORE to punish petty, nonviolent criminals and drug addicts than it would cost you to give many a much better chance to make something out of their broken lives. What does that say about you to you?

I realize that you would NEVER commit a crime yourself. I realize that this fact makes you much SUPERIOR to anybody who would even consider running afoul of the law in any way, shape or form. However, does this really mean you think any who is convicted of any felony is forever irredeemable and deserves eternal punishment? Because, if so, I'd suggest to you that your own eternally damned soul could use a little searching as well.
