PD- I guess that it's an interpretation issue-I see that as evidence that our current method of incarceration is not a deterrent to many who choose to commit crimes.I think that we are doing many things wrong related to the issue. I think that many of the related aspects can't be easily legislated away-home issues,poverty,unemployment,addictions.All of those factors have an effect on crime.But-sooner or later,the individual has to make the choice,out of his or her own free will,to CHOOSE to commit the crime or not.I feel that if there were stronger deterrents than we offer,there would be more people who would  just say "No".Most law-abiding people see incarceration as a choice they want to avoid,and for many,that works.Many repeat-offenders(repeatedly caught after what is often many more crimes)don't see it that way.For many,life inside is a break from the responsibilities on the outside and a time to hang with friends.No worries about...
