They have a lower crime hate because of the lack of right-wing propaganda by hateful Republicans.\n\nProove that's not true,Righties! \n\n\nDiebold has republican ties,and after Gore won the popular vote in 2000,they "put their heads together" to make it easier for Republicans to slip through and mess it up.\n\n\nI know people in Florida who still insist they accidentally voted for Pat Buchanon in 2000.

Obviously something motivates them to act in these ways.\n There may be different factors and there are no generalisations. but there are far too many people in prison for committing these heinous crimes , and a much much greater number who exploit young girls around the earth today ( and boys too ).\n          I think that the worst behaviour is built up to from a foundation. Whatever the starting point, the person must ignore their conscience at some ponit or maybe they have been abused too and do not have any consideration for their poor victims.\n      On tv these people are portrayed as acting in a downward spiral getting more and more out of control.

Stop listening to politicians promising to "get tough on crimes."   They get elected, then enact mandatory minimums, which take away the power from the judges to rule on individual cases.   If you get caught with a joint in some states, you get five years.   You lose your wife, kids, house, car, job.   And the taxpayers get to support that person.   Drug laws are the worst in this country.   Check out the November Coalition's web site to see thousands of people busted for stupid drug laws, thousands we support, thousands of lives wasted.\nThere will soon be legislation to release elderly prisoners (non-violent), as they are the most expensive to house because of their medical problems.   I hope that people will support this.\n\nMy 65 year old husband was screwed over by the parole board four years ago, and we are still trying to get it straightened out.   Meanwhile, your tax dollars have paid for his shoulder surgery, knee replacements and dental.    I know of many other older prisoners who just want to go home and chill.   They are worn out and are no threat to anyone.      Most of them got into trouble for crimes back in the 1970's, which is nothing compared to the gangbanger drive-by street punks today.    They just want some peace and quiet and fresh air, and to die where someone cares about them.  \n\nIf these older guys were released, it would help the financial burden immensely.    The families would then be responsible, but trust me, we don't mind.

Its the criminal Justice system that's up the creak. Prisons are full with people who should not be there The mentally incompetent  and sick ( They shut all the mental hospitals) people locked up for not paying fines maintenance (take the money from them when they get paid, receive the Giro)  \n\nThe result is the prisons are overcrowded, so the idiots let out the real criminals on parol to kill rape and rob the rest of us. The problem requires a complete overhaul of the way we punish offenders. Lock up real criminals and get the idle sods who dont pay finds or cause a nusance to work in the community clearing up the mess they make

I find it odd that people ask for sources when the majority of people IN jail are Christian.  And no, they didn't all convert while they were in there.\n\n"I believe you will find more non-Christians behind bars than Christians, a lot more. "\n\nSorry RB but as I said, that's not the case.  Christians make up about 70% of all convicts in US jails.  Other religions make up most of the rest but atheists only make up less than 0.1%.  The believers far outweigh the non-believers.

Because most Republicans are for less government involvement in your life and LOWER taxes.  Most, and not all, Democrats want to give everything to everyone and enjoy having a class of society dependent on them, such as welfare recipients.

Look how the Clinton staff acted when they moved out of the White House - trashed it, stole stuff, and took the W's off of the typewriters. During the last Presidential election in my state the donkeys slashed tires of Republican vans.  Those guys are in jail now.\n\nThe Democrats are immature and destructive from top - down.

For the most part, Democrats are for amnesty and enforcing our current laws.  There are some Republicans who feel this way, but not as many (Bush is the biggest), they mostly want strict penalties for those who hire illegals and want illegals to return home and get in line.

If Democrats are demonic so are Republicans.  They want to solve the same problems, they just have a different method of solving such problems.

Democrats are working for the people who voted for them.\nRepublicans do not work and do not have any support, just the homos, pedophiles and lesbians vote Republican

Repuglicans are all about making a buck, that is why they also over look the corruption and perversion in their party. If somebody can make a few bucks glory to them. This is one democrat that does not think that OJ is innocent. But the jury thought that the prosecutor didn't prove the case and that is really all that matters.

Maybe you mean correlation -- i.e. there are many politicians who have had to spend time in jail.  I guess that that shows you that the state probably is abusing its power and jailing dissident politicians.

Why vote?  Even if your candidate doesn't win, you have shown the parties that you are one who doesn't agree with them.\n\nWhy do Rep/Dems get voted in? They are the 2 biggest parties in the country with the most money.

Many criminals are capable of reform, just not under our current system which does not emphasize it.  Our current system is a punishment system, and we care not enough about rehabilitating them.  In our current system, the crooks go in with a mild understanding of their crime, but come out with master's degrees in being a more effective criminal.

Very little.   Who's going to testify?   Prison is all about politics, trading and favors (hmmm, sounds like Washington DC, doesn't it?).   Say somebody shanks somebody in the yard.   Why did it happen in the first place?   Lover's quarrell?   Or did the shankee stiff someone else on a deal?  Is he going to tell?   The shanker sure as H isn't.  \n\n The other guys aren't going to piss of the shanker by ratting him out, unless they can do it later secretly to get themselves some good time points.    And the Staff would be crazy to take anyone's word for anything.\n\nIf caught, most get put in the hole for a little while.   Hurting another inmate is not like stabbing an old woman on the street.   No one cares except the inmate's family.    Fights and stabbings are common, and no big deal.   After all, it's prison. \n\nThere are no stats for this, this is just daily reality in prison.    Good luck with your paper.
