“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.

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.

This is great. Rita is a pos
