Dealing with state prison overcrowding

We need to stop *****footing around and build a prison large enough to do the job properly. Everyone from the governor on down have been dancing around the issue, kicking it to the side over money issues. The money shouldn't be an issue when you take into consideration the cost of overtime, additional officers, property loss and damage, the purchase of additional equipment and a host of other things that cost far more than the price of a new prison.

And that doesn't take into consideration to cost of rehab programs and the cost of processing repeat offenders. When we put someone in prison, they need to stay there until their time is served. The problem we have today is that the prison system, and the justice system has no teeth. The police arrest them, the judge sentences them, they go to prison and a few months later, they are released due to overcrowding, or some ******* liberal judge lets them out early. This needs to stop.

They need to quit making prison life so easy. I know people that work in the prison the inmates have play stations xboxes buy cakes and pop and don't have to work or go to school, it's way too easy to be there. That's why they keep coming back. Prison reform is needed badly.It's a joke no hard times
