I don't necessarily believe in the 3 strikes law.

I've seen many people screwed over by smallish stuff with that but I do agree that we need something for repeat offenders over and over again who prove to be a menace regardless of any therapy or help they had even if they didn't murder anyone. There's people out there who have criminal records as long as 12 years of age and into adulthood where they somehow always get off on bail and nothing ever happens to them. I don't understand it. I don't understand how one can commit felonies over and over again and still be allowed outside particularly when the court KNOWS they'll run lol. It's like this over and over with people but yet it still happens.

So yeah while I agree that we should end things like war on drugs and war on anything, they should have special things in place for when people generally just become pests.

I am inclined to agree. Rehabilitation programs would be a far better idea.

@CorvusBlackthorne The only thing about rehab is that it can be used for exploitation by corporations if it got federalized somehow. That's I'm for it but for checks and balances, for instance lobbying should be illegal with prisons.

@CorvusBlackthorne qe need both. Not all criminals are rehabable nor are all crimes deserving of such. Thing is though it's not really that hard to decipher which is which except by the bureaucrat "proffesionals".
