Come to California and watch our “tough” penal system in action.
Such a joke.
Yes, there are people incarcerated; but as Baretta was quoted as saying, “if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime.”
And don’t even talk about “dropping” crime rates. In California, the only state that I professionally acquainted with, the way that the Legislature made crime rates look like they are dropping was by taking crimes off the books and eliminating jail sentences and lowering probation times.
To make even more fun, the well-educated voters in LA County (the most populous county in California) just elected a DA who is hell bent in playing kumbaya with criminals.
Fun times.
