Message | We fail to see how "a uniform system of courts across the nation" which would appear to lack the right of appeal, is anything but instituting oppression. We also cannot support the prison bill, based on a simple knowledge of prison theory. If an able-bodied murderer is idle, he will dwell upon his past crimes. While in some cases, this may come to repentance (an outdated idea, DSP, I know) in many cases, we will have prisoners who are happy to be among people of the same blackest sort of character. Their idleness will only encourage them to return to their old practices later. Working instills (to some degree) structure, and allows them to consider the idea of employment over crime, at the very least. It allows for important state projects (and, until, per our goal of them no longer existing, need to be completed) to have labor necessary for their completion. Work is vital to the rehabilitation of the criminal. Any other idea would suggest not only being soft on crime, but to us, appears to encourage crime to further political goals. |
