Haqi, Criminals getting off easy, or action movies. Which do you think affects a 17 year old kid whose buddies want to get a cheap thrill by stealing something or mugging somebody?

They know that even if they get arrested, they probably won't be in jail long, or even at all.

Some people say there are not enough prisons. Well, if you cut down the air conditioning, take away the pool tables, televisions and other luxuries, there would be more funds available for bare bones prisons. Which is what they ought to be anyway!

A teacher I know told me she took her class on a field trip to see what it's like in jail. She said it was like a country club and she was sorry she did it!
