Bill: Justice Reform Act of 2372
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kanjoran Socialist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2372
Description[?]:
| These programs are designed to limit the injustices of the court system and protect the individual at the same time. Often times, crimes go for appeal over and over again until the criminal gets out of jail because a judge does not think that he belongs there. Artical One makes it so that a person can only get request for an appeal from the Minister of Justice. Artical II- Doesn't make much sense for local governments to impose a curfew and not the national government Artical III- It is tough for a prisoner to come out of prison and have no money or job. So earning money in jail will help him be able to keep afloat as he accumulates money from his real job. |
