Description[?]:
| Over time, Crime has become an increasinly alarming issue. This bill, most simply, seeks to fix issues within the criminal justice system. Death Penalty - Legalizing the death penalty in certain cases for the most severe crimes will act as a powerful deterrent. It will also decrease the money spent on housing non-productive life sentence prisoners. Police Presence - Delegating the task of police placement and patrol schedules will allow those closer and more familiar with the issues to properly prevent and respond to crimes. Police Powers - Seemingly in converse, maintaining federal standards of police powers will ensure that police are held accountable, and have the powers needed to stop crime. Prison Labor - Allowing prisoners to work voluntarily for a small wage will enhance our abilities to reinstate them into society. It also creates revenue for the government, as well as keeps them busy, preventing plotting or gang organization. |
