More prisons and a streamlined justice system means we can stop the objectionable 2 for 1 deduction for dead time.
But Jackson said the plan undermines public safety by making prisons more dangerous places and constricting inmates' reintegration into society.
By keeping prisoners locked up longer, the plan places an enormous financial burden on taxpayers, he added.
Keeping them locked up longer does cost more, as does having to re-arrest and re-convict the same people who were let out early and who re-offended.
I think the cost might be offset by the rehabilitation.
Hurting a person? By making them serve their entire sentence? This guy's an idiot.
The purpose isn't to investigate if more jails are needed but simply to find some lefty professor who will let them print such a biased headline. Average Joe is going to look at the headline and see that as bad even though it's widely accepted that we need more prisons.
And committing crimes doesn't infringe on your victims human rights. Give me a freakin break.
Just ask Dean Zimmermans wife and the woman he held captive for nine hours and sexually assaulted while on early release. Corrections Canada can't, despite their irresolute claims, ensure the safety of anyone from one of their "rehabilitated" felons.
There are people in our society who pose a threat and no amount of feel good hugs and kisses therapy is going to change that. Just as there is a segment of society that commits crimes and are actually rehabilitatable.
The problem we have here is that our justice system can't differentiate between the two and continually lets the sociopath out along with the actual rehabilitated felon.
Maybe what we need is two prison systems. One for the people who don't want help reintegrating into society and one for people who do. Oh wait, we have that, maximum, medium and minimum security prisons.
So since we have the system in place, lets get rid of all the bleeding hearts on the parole board and corrections Canada and start with some people with common sense and a willingess to punish unrepentant offenders and reward offenders who actually want and deserve a second chance.
And while we're at it let's actually sentence these societal misfits to punishments that fit their crimes instead of reducing sentences and giving early release to habitual criminals.
