Crime › Prison Overcrowding
8>8 Personal answerNo, the prison system in general should be reworked, as it currently takes advantages of its place in society to avoid constitutional law and take away the rights of citizens. Instead of releasing criminals before the end of their sentence, issue just and reasonable punishment for crimes of differing caliber and public opinion. The fact that prisons are overcrowded is proof of an ineffective judicial system. |
Education › Universal Pre-K
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Transportation › Public Transportation

the Economy › Government Pensions
