    I would not disagree - thus prison has a dual purpose.

    Part of the punishment is being confined, not have access to
    certain nice things, ect.
    For example, we should not feed prisoners only bread and water,
    but on the other hand there is no need to provide them with T-Bone Steak

    Yes and no.

    Shorten the life term to the death penalty. 1 month of godly counseling, and then death.

    To make more space we need to shorten rehabilitation. The problem is half the people on the outside waiting to get back in, have been rehabilitated at least once, if not more.

    The justice system is too large. Both sides of the issue see each other as the enemy. But what we would do without all those jobs? We could militarize them to actually stop the flow of drugs. If we could only stop the desire of sin for a month....

    The issue is not with police being bullies. It is with sin turning all into bullies. Those who make billions in trafficking sin do not care either way.

    God knows that the only way to stop sin, is to just stop working. Sin is what we reward ourselves with all the work we do. It started with Noah and the first vineyard. After 100 years of nonstop labor, he made the mistake of rewarding himself with sin. The habit has not stopped since. If we all stopped working and just gave stuff away, the owners of the money, would start firing people. But if everyone in the whole world stopped, even the law enforcement, and rioters would stop their non paying job of rioting, and people would truly respect each other for each other instead of their jobs, this world would change in a hurry.

    But those in high places are smart. They know people will never just strike at once and actually respect each other at the same time. Their bet is placed on sin and it's strong desire in our hearts.

    He probably was a three time loser. California has a "Three Strikes" law. I'd like to know what his two other felonies were.

    As the OP for this thread, I ask that this tread be closed since it has been hijacked. It was concerning why some people hate the police - not how to punish criminals.
