Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

    The US criminal justice system has never been for rehabilitation. No sane person thinks jail makes someone less likely to commit crimes.

        That’s good to hear. I hope he’s doing well.

        But that’s what’s often missed regarding statistics. It’s true for a large group of people but can’t say anything about the individual.

          Oh don’t get me wrong, I believe recidivism is a real problem and that my brother got on the straight and narrow perhaps just as much inspite of his 4 years in prison as because of.

            Oh yes, I got that you knew that. I was speaking about the others, sorry that I didn’t make that clear enough.
