And some number of them will inevitably go on to re-break the law, and yet no one bats an eyelash at that fact. It's seen as normal, taken in stride.<br /><br />And I mean... we're ALREADY letting them out on probation. People on probation re-break the law all the time, and there's no outrage over that. But in this case, all of a sudden people would be up in arms about it? Why? It's insanity.<br /><br />Ultimately any complaints would effectively boil down to... they don't like the idea of it being possible to change WHERE a person can be on probation? How does that make ANY goddamn sense?<br /><br />Someone who breaks the law in a ghetto has to serve probation in the same ghetto that drove them to crime in the first place, even if they could otherwise have the option to serve their probation in a far healthier place?
