Bill: Corrections Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Anti-Communist Front
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: July 2554
Description[?]:
| Article One: Prisoners do not need money. The prison is their world and all they deserve is provided. Money on leads to the creation of a black markets inside prisons that not only reintroduce drugs and weapons. This lessons our guard's control over what the inmates control, leading to more searches, more threats, and more violence. Article Two: It is sad but heinous crimes are committed against others by our fellow Malivians. Some serve life sentences, some few even multiple life sentences. Why should these men linger in jail? They are sick twisted Malivians who are a stain on our people. They do not deserve life. |

| Message | SSD policy is to oppose the death penalty while prefering torture as punishment. Requiring prisoners to work will likely lead to decreased productivity. |

| Message | Let them do dirty jobs. The MP is indifferent on Article II, and will support either value. We will support this bill. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
