SOME PEOPLE MIGHT EVEN WANT TO GO TO JAIL

LIKE THE HOMELESS

SO THEY STEAL AND THEN THEY DONT HAVE TO LOOK FOR FOOD

I GUESS ITS A BALANCE

WHAT IS BETTER

THE FREEDOM?

BUT THE FREEDOM FROM WHAT? I KNOW JAIL AND PRISON SHOULD BE RESTRICTING

**I mean are you not just serving time legally. so lets make that process go faster why not? is a year different from a month, a month from a week in there, when is enough for someone?**

BUT WE HAVE TO AGREE THAT SCHOOLS AND OUR LAWS ARE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS

TIME IS OUR ONLY RESOURCE

SO I CAN IMAGINE IF SOMEONE HAS DONE A HORRIBLE THING OR AN ILLEGAL THING AND THEN GOES TO JAIL WAITS FOR MONTHS IN SOME CASES AND THEN POST BAIL OR AGREE’S AND TAKES A PLEA. THATS NOT JUSTICE THATS NOT THE STUFF WE ARE MADE OUT OF. NOT US . NOT OUR COUNTRY. IF IT IS THEN WE CAN FIX OUR COUNTRY WE ARE JUST MAN IN SPACE AND AS TERRIFYING AS THAT IS WE STILL MUST THINK ABOUT THE WAY THIS THING THE ONLY THING, LIFE OCCURS.
