NC Get Out Of Jail Free
So, you want to get out of jail free in North Carolina. Maybe you have a life sentence. Perhaps you’ve got 22 years left on your 30-year sentence. That’s okay. If you’re “sick,” then you get out. That’s the decision of the Democrat General Assembly. Oh, you can be sure it’s For The Children (TM) because they want to “save money.”
Once upon a time, prison was a punishment. Sure, our system is based on the Quaker system. Do you know what their purpose was for prison? Nope, not punishment. It was based on the idea that all people were god-fearing people. They believed that putting someone in prison would give that person time to consider what they had done wrong and would allow the guilty to meditate on how to improve their lives and repent for their misdeeds.
Today’s prison system is based on, well, feelings. A few people go to jail to make others feel better. It’s not about punishing people for committing crimes — if it were, a LOT more people would be in jail (like most of the members of the Texas Department of Family Services). It’s not about rehabilitation — if it was the recidivism rate wouldn’t be around 80%. So why do we have prisons today? Perhaps the reason no one can answer that question is why we have so much crime today.
I wonder how the members of the General Assembly will FEEL when someone is let out of jail, set free and let back into society, completely overturning the decision of a jury or judge to incarcerate that person — and that person kills someone. My bet is they won’t care one bit, because they’ll have more taxpayer money to spend.

They won’t care at all. They probably think they are doing the right thing, much like Dukakis did with Willie Horton.
The only part they care about is getting money for them to spend. Quite literally nothing else matters to them.
