April 6, 2009, 5:57pm (report abuse)I BELIEVE ALL THINGS AT SOME POINT IN TIME NEED TO BE "RE-JUVENATED" -THUS, I IMPLORE THOSE WHOSE PRIVILEGE IT IS TO PASS THIS BILL - OUR JUSTICE SYSTEMS ARE IN NEED OF AN "OVERHAUL". THE ECONOMY WILL BENEFIT - WHEN CERTAIN NON-VIOLENT OFFENDERS ARE EITHER PAROLED, COMMUTED TO A LESSER SENTENCE, GIVEN HOME CONFINEMENT FOR THE BALANCE OF THEIR SENTENCE, AND GIVEN A "SECOND CHANCE" BY THE LAW THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THAT VERY THING. THE OVERCROWDED PRISONS WILL HAVE MORE ROOM WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE AS MANY INMATES AND THE FUNDS WILL NOT BE AS "TIGHT" SO THAT THE SYSTEM CAN PAY THEM THE FUNDS THEY ARE DUE FOR THE JOBS THEY DO IN THE FACILITY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE AMOUNTS THEY ARE RECEIVING NOW ARE BUT A FRACTION OF WHAT THEY WERE. SOME INMATES DO NOT EVEN HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE FROM FAMILY MEMBERS - PARTLY DUE TO THE ECONOMY AND PARTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE "BREADWINNER" PRESENTLY AT HOME. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO VOICE MY OPINION.
