Passage taken from Michael Moore's latest book Dude, Where's My Country62% of Americans support changing current laws so that fewer nonviolent offenders are sent to prison.
That's right, the USA want criminals roaming the streets! 80% want more community service for those who break the law and 76% believe that offenders would do better being on the outside making restitution to their victims than by being locked away. 74% percent prefer treatment (up to $13,000 cost per person per year) and probation for nonviolent drug users instead of being shipped to prison (average cost of $25,000 cost per person per year)!
AMERICANS ARE SOFT ON CRIME! They are a bunch of bleeding hearts! And they are dopers themselves! 94,000,000 Americans have used illegal drugs at least once in their lives.
Michael Moore makes some sense, it would be $12,000 cheaper to treat drug users than to lock them up in prison.
What do you guys think?
