Yes. Would you rather spend billions of American taxpayer dollars keeping these nonviolent criminals locked up behind bars and then label them a criminal for the rest of their lives, making it impossible for them to get a job after they get out of prison? What happens when they can't find a job after no one will hire them because they have a conviction on their record? They go and commit a petty crime, get arrested, and then cost the taxpayer billions of more dollars to keep them locked up because we didn't feel like investing in programs that would keep them out of prison in the first place. That's a great business model for private prisons, but a horrendous way to treat American citizens who are just trying to get by in a capitalistic world. I would rather spend billions of dollars on programs that keep nonviolent offenders out of prison. That way we can actually get them to become functioning members of our society instead of paying billions of dollars to private prisons just to make sure we keep their quota full. I'd rather help those who need it the most more than give billions of taxpayer dollars to the private prisons who want to keep their prisons full so they can maximize their profit. What about those Wall Street boys who stole millions, do you think probation is enough of a punishment, and how often does a non-violent criminal commit these crimes before he / she does jail time?

JC attempts to now have "insight" and predictions as to how often a person who commits non-violent offenses will re-offend. NOT Your job as one of Philly's finest...... JC feels that he's acting on behalf of victims, also having the moral authority granted him to make these calls. Vigilanty. The ends justifying the means. Never once speaking on the "THOUSANDS" of corrupt and violent police officers in this country. You know, the ones who take justice just a little too personal. Again...Not your job. A few bad apples????what a joke...An orchard of apples who attempt to redefine laws and policy by GETTING CREATIVE in those poilice reports. JC...I know a lot of cops here. They even joke about it.....You can deny it all you want. I've seen the corruption first hand ...out here and in there. How do you think cell phones and drugs get into prison? Visitors who bring it in cant keep up with demand in there.....oh, but those opportunistic prison guards can fill that void.....and they do...and make lots of money doing it. Don't ever try to attempt to convince me that cops are good people...there just people...like everyone else. I'm sure u have many secrets in that long career you had...........and I know you are aware of MALIK SNELL...you may even have known him.......i encourage all members to google his name.

Everything you mentioned regarding my "insight:" is wrong, it is not considered insightful to ask questions regarding a changing of the existing norms,( Mandatory Sentencing laws), but a genuine inquiry of what the parameters of any change might bring about. and I an not acting in the best interest of the victims , not that they don't need a good advocate for their issues, It's just not me. I also know many cops , and there are corrupt cops but they are few in number compared to all of the good cops, if you want to highlight the bad cops , that's your prerogative , but it will represent a false narrative that most cops are corrupt, which is patently untrue.
