now that's what i call 'tough on crime.'

I know how to solve this - TAX CUTS!

Elmore Lenard is on the case.

More than 23,000 unaccounted for are men.

Why was THIS statistic necessary?

85% are right handed.

12% dislike the taste of chocolate.

98% agree with tea party politics.

98% are below average intelligence.

100% are human.

Because the other 7,000 were only guilty of standing up for themselves against an oppressive patriarchy. Only people with a "women are property" mindset would find it necessary to keep tabs on them after release. Your post is sexist and you should feel sexist.

elffster: Meh, its Florida, what could happen?

They could vote.

Just goes to show you that probation has always been a stupid idea. After the con serves his time, let him out and forget about him. If he's going to commit another crime, his probation officer isn't going to influence him.

Call Dexter,....

/also only in Florida...

I read "offenders" as "officers," and thought, it's a start.

Our heroes on the thin blue line.

I feel sexy. Does that count?

Yes.

Is that all?

Disappearing prisoners?



That's so mid-season replacement...

On the case.

I'm sure it's because Rick Scott has an investment in a company that tracks these sort of people down.

I bet that at least a few of them are stuck on the inside and just lost in the system.

And FL Gov Scott wants to turn the prisons over to private contractors...which will make things much worse.

When you go from people starting at $15 per hour from $8 an hr...you get crappier employees. So our Business Socialist governor is going to try to increase that 30K cons on the loose...to about 100K cons on the loose....by hiring cheaper and less qualified corrections officers

Not only privitization results in worse performance, it actually costs more to run than the government running things...because the private contractor has to make a profit to stay in business...and the taxpayers now have to pay the profits of the private contractor

Probation is more of a collective decision that "The judge was too harsh" or "You've pulled your life together more quickly than we thought," or even "We decriminalized what we sent you in for a while back," but laws being laws and our nation being all about them, we have to have some pretense of making them serve out their sentence. It's when you get to "We got no money, goodbye everyone" that everything goes to hell, especially since that means half the probation officers and detectives also get fired. Hopefully they just wrote off the lowest risk offenders and only go after missing high risk ones.

The stats on re-offenders on probation show that as long as parole standards are maintained, instead of everyone being let out or anyone who finds Jesus, probation works pretty well.

new fark headlines?

hitlersbrain: 98% agree with tea party politics.

If you say so...
