Our Prisons Are Crowded Because We Have A Lot of Criminals

Our Prisons Are Crowded Because We  Have A Lot of Criminals - nationalreview.com

Excerpt from this article:

"So when the public hears about somebody who is facing a mandatory minimum, what’s often left unreported is that it isn’t the offender’s first rodeo. By definition, they are dealers, not simple possessors, moving significant quantities, and either have a serious criminal history or are leaders or organizers of criminal groups."

We do have a lot of criminals in America, but some of the worst ones are not in prison! In fact, many of the worst criminals are the politicians who make the laws in the first place. Constitutional scholar and talk show host Mark Levin has said:
"You should view these politicians with the deepest contempt you can possibly imagine.  What they are doing to this country, what they are doing to our finances - there is not a criminal in any federal prison, state prison, city or county jail with respect to financial crimes of any sort who collectively could have done the kind of damage that Barack Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and yes, willing, timid, gutless Republicans have done to this country! To your future, to your children and your grandchildren. What they are doing is with malice and with forethought." (emphasis mine) (source)

The following is a poem about law and justice:

"As a young lawyer from the books that I'd read
I thought justice and law were the same.
But I soon put such juvenile thoughts from my head
And I studied the rules of the game."
