I agree with Cube here. I am anti-death penalty,
Do you believe pedophiles can be reformed?
What the hell does this have to do with anything? You know they don't execute people for pedophilia right?
But there are some criminals that can never be reformed
Life in prison would be the solution here if you are against the death penalty.
Who's gonna pay for that? Some of those bastards live up to their high nineties
If prisons weren't 70% filled with nonviolent drug offenders, funding wouldn't be an issue.
Most people in prison are violent offenders and/or have been convicted of crimes in which the offender would likely commit a violent crime.
Wrong.
48% of prisoners are non violent drug "offenders"
http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=1118That leaves 52%
I'm sure there are more than 3% of "offenders" locked up for downloading unauthorized digital goods (software piracy)
You're relying on government numbers? When has the government ever released an accurate number on anything?
You see no conflict of interest in the government releasing numbers relative to their own policies?
"Hey, Yeah! All that money we printed solved everything! Look at the 5.8% employment rate that we ended up with because of our policies. The economy is doing great now because of us! We're the saviors of the world!" - US Government
Really the number of non violent drug offenders is north of 60%.
