Subject: RE: BS: Sentencing children to die in prison
Jim,
You are carefully not dealing with the points I made.
I said "Imprisonment acts as a deterrent". I did not say that extending the period makes it more of a deterrent.
The NIJ link that you give agrees with my statement.
You also ignore my first point that imprisonment of offenders protects the law-abiding majority.
