Illinois bill would allow three-time felons to be paroled – Center Square

“We have aging offenders that are costing taxpayers millions of dollars. Prison should be for individuals who should actually be there, not for those individuals who have committed crimes out of stupidity, mental health or drug usage. We want to make sure we are locking up the right people," state. Rep. Rita Mayfield said.

Another “I love criminals” law from………democrats. People get sent to prison for long periods of time and get old in prison because they did something really, really terrible to someone.That someone may have never recovered from the traumatic event or may even have been killed and this crusading lawmaker is worried about the criminal. They are in prison and if they get sick they are cared for by the state. Here’s an idea, instead of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on healthy, young, strong capable illegal immigrants spend tax money on keeping citizens safe.

There has to be a balance here and I am looking out for the taxpayer,” Mayfield said…unless that taxpayer is then the victim of a crime perpetrated by the habitual criminal that she advocated to let out of prison. Let’s be honest here, this is another black Illinois politician pandering to her constituency, that FBI statistics show are the ones committing the crimes. Prove me wrong.
