we lock up the wrong people, Idiot
No, we lock up too many people. And when we lock them up, we end up making them worse, because they can't get jobs and have to resort to more crime.
Locking up isn't the issue....democrats letting the violent criminals back out over and over again is the issue....
Locking up is most certainly the issue... A single conviction is enough to be a job killer in most cases, and you've pretty much created a "Career" criminal because they don't have much of a chance at any other kind of career.
Then you make it too damned easy to get a gun and pursue that career.
