How about the hundreds of families that have suffered been devastated by avalanche of crime that has affected us all? Justice is holding criminals to account and making our communities safe. Keeping them off the streets for a long time sends a message and keeps us safe by removing the number of wrong doers who do harm

Note how these cheersleaders for less punishment leas incarceration less detention for those who commit crime have never been victims themselves
