I’ve been in public education almost 30 years. The principals who go to a rough school and fix it all do one thing.

In every high school there are 8-12 kids who cause 90% of the serious discipline problems. The effective principals get rid of those kids and the rest see what happened to them and fall in line.

Sad shite. My mom worked in public education and didn't have the same issues. She would recommend that students get held back and the administration would just matriculate them through the system. Doing no one any favors

1% sounds small but it is 3,400,000 people.

That would be a great use for Greenland.

There were two studies done on the histories of homicide with one in NYC in 1960 and the other in Charlotte, NY in the mid-1990's. The researchers studied every homicide and every victim in great detail, not just for convictions in court or other official records.

They found that 70% of perps and victims were known criminals in both studies.

The revolving door was, and still is, the issue.


Most of them are already known to the system: on probation, on parole, or out on pretrial release. That’s the real problem — a revolving door where the same high-risk people cycle through arrests, hearings, and releases with almost no supervision.

Fixes could be: faster hearings, tighter probation, creating real consequences for gun violations, and having agencies that actually share information.

Cities that did this cut shootings by 30–60%. Stop the revolving door and you stop the violence.

Good Article

This issue hits all of us at home. Close by. Real time. Daily. I'm far more concerned about this issue than opening The Straight, Reflecting Pools and UFC spectacles. This would be the one singular issue Politicians should concentrate their efforts on, particularly the judicial side. Yet, we hear crickets.

I think we have too many, we just don't have the right ones. Mental health facilities would do wonders for a majority of people in jail.

Stop parroting this bullshite


You go in on a small drug charge then a lot of the guys end up with weapons manufacturing or fighting which lengthens sentence.

Don’t care if you believe it or not just stating facts.

We shouldn't be burdened with the cost of feeding, housing and providing them medical care.

We have too many violent criminals in prison.

I'm talking about 30 day max on death row, and more put on death row.

Whether it has been good or bad for El Salvador, they are incarcerating 1.6% of their population. We currently incarcerate 0.7%. They are doing it at half the rate of spending per prisoner that we are. If we account for scale differences, we are basically incarcerating half as many people, but spending the same amount of money.

If we want to increase incarceration, we first have to fix the incredibly corrupt and wasteful jail and prison system to make it economically viable.

Correct. Take away all creature comforts. They can farm for their food. They can stamp license plates. They need to be worked until they are too tired to cause trouble. No TV except for during meals. 1 hour per day on internet if they are taking online courses Prison should be a place no one wants to go.

And, bring back 3 strikes laws except for life, they should get death. We need to return to high trust society where you don't have to live in fear of people harming you or taking your stuff. We didn't even lock our house and left keys in our cars growing up in the 60s and 70s.

Know when shite changed? During desegregation. Hmmmm...
