do the crime, do the time.
Our state had a "truth in sentencing" law that went into effect back in the 80s that said you had to do 85% of your sentence. Our prison population has more than doubled since then. We have since relaxed that a bit and it helped and they are trying to do more house arrest instead of imprisonment. But if nothing comes of that, still no one to blame but the criminal.
