[cia-drugs] Get Tough on Crime, or Its Causes (Which is cheaper and more Humane?) [1 Attachment]
Get Tough on Crime, or Its Causes (Which is cheaper and more Humane?) Over the last thirty years, California's prison population has soared. In 1980, California had a prison population of about 24,000 in a state of 24 million. Today we have an inmate population of 172,000 out of 36 million people. This means that since 1980, our population has grown by 50% while our prison population has grown 617%. Each year, approximately 70 percent of those released from California prisons commit another offense, resulting in the highest recidivism rate in the nation. These repeat offenses are preventable crimes that claim more victims and harm communities' quality of life. It costs on average more than $10,000 to prosecute just one felony case, and about $47,000 per year to house each inmate in prison. Every time an inmate is released and commits a new crime, local and state jurisdictions pay those costs over and over again. Most importantly, individuals and communities pay the highest price when they are re-victimized by crime. To keep our communities safe and use public money wisely, we must insist that people coming out of the criminal justice system become productive citizens and stay out. They get trained for a job, go back to school, get current with child support, enroll in parenting classes, and become positive contributors in their communities. The program encompasses swift sanctions for making bad choices and clear incentives for good ones. As a result, less than 10 percent of Back on Track graduates have re-offended compared to a 54 percent recidivism rate statewide for a comparable population of offenders. We have achieved this success at a fraction of the cost of traditional corrections approaches. Back on Track costs about $5,000 annually per participant, compared to between $35,000 and $47,000 for a year in jail or prison. http://criminaljustice.change.org/blog/view/smart_on_crime_more_safety_at_less_cost Also, Please sign this petition today to “Repeal the Unfair, Unjust, Racist Rockefeller Drugs Laws.” http://www.droptherock.org/?page_id=37 The earthly ENDTIME of the Wicked - Not the RIGHTEOUS.

[cia-drugs] Re: Time to CHANGE the racist unjust Crack/Cocaine Federal Drugs Laws!!
How many grams of crack can be made from 500g of powder coke? When I was at DU with Condie and John Bertel, my next door neighbor in the dorm on High Street was smoking powder cocaine in marijuana cigarettes every day. -Bob --- In cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com, nathaniel x vance broali...@... wrote: Dear group, Is it time, is it finally time at last to end the racist mostly republican Federal Minimum Sentencing Drug Laws for possessing a measly 5 grams of crack cocaine versus 500 grams (1.1 pound) of powder cocaine, whom which mostly many are black, who have been disproportionately imprisoned at a colossal ratio costing taxpayers hundredth of billions of dollars yearly?

[cia-drugs] Re: Get Tough on Crime, or Its Causes (Which is cheaper and more Humane?)
The recidivism rate is partly due to life without crime getting harder than it already was, once a person is marked as a con. Isn't it impossible to get into public housing with a felony conviction? Where is one with a felony conviction, recently released from prison, supposed to acquire non-subidized housing without a job? In Virginia, MEDICAID is for pregnant women. Check it out on a social services website. Now this is another insight, but one that could fit into stand-up comedy with little refinement. Are you aware of all the popular cultural inducements for young men to scowl in photos and to walk around scowling? Show a high class yearbook photo or any other photo of a nice young black man to white people and they say he's scary. He probably won't be able to get a job. He's already making sure every photo image of him looks like a scary criminal. Few successful black entertainers are in a position to comment, due to many of them making their money by leading the fashion lemmings with their best scowl. This one is hopeless, I know, but it's a protest against what should be different but is not changing. In DC, about 2000 homeless people are about to be put out of shelters into the street, and at the same time, services for the homeless are to be reduced. In Fairfax County and DC, teachers are being fired in numbers. Detroit must be the model city for neocon planning. There is no bottom. We need to have a bottom. MEDICAID for pregnant women, closing shelters, firing teachers, crack and power cocaine sentencing inequity, no felons allowed in public housing, no minimum stipend other than food stamps, no single payer healthcare, all adds up to just about impossible. We don't need to hear one more story about the one lucky, talented, beautiful or handsome sweepstake winner who made it through even a narrowing chicane of opportunity. We need to make it possible not to commit crime for food and housing. Otherwise I think I know why the recidivism rate is so high. You can have what you buy. You are getting what you are paying for. -Bob --- In cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com, nathaniel x vance broali...@... wrote: Get Tough on Crime, or Its Causes (Which is cheaper and more Humane?)

[cia-drugs] H1N1 Vaccine Is Biowar Too
H1N1(U Minn biowar) vaccine paralyzed Washington Redskins cheerleader Desiree Jennings. Her tongue and neck are paralyzed and she can't walk right. She walks backwards instead. Our government buys non-lethal weapons that paralyze and mutilate, like sonic mutilators now being purchased by political police across the country now to suppress opposition to paralyzing and mutilating political weapons. Hospitals can get to a lot of people with fake vaccines to augment police-military H1N1 and then police can use sonic mutilators on uppity vaccine refusers. But we're the good guys is what the pedo porn FBI agents said when they were caught using CIA-kidnapped children as prostitutes(no such thing as an under-age prostitute!) to make APEC blackmail videos. We're in full allergy mode, folks, the police-military antibodies are targeting anyone different as contaminated and a threat, just like wood sawdust allergy and food allergies in the body, as analogy. -Bob http://www.google.com/search?q=redskins+cheerleader+paralyzed+vaccination http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=377029
