Do you feel like there should be a limit on the number of times someone can do something?

Like one of my former co-workers said she had an uncle who has been married 9 times... and they stopped buying gifts after #7 and the bride understood...

Or if someone had been to jail over 20 times (clearly that isn't teaching them anything)...

{@viper] you maybe right where the criminal goes . i understand what you said was an example but that sounds like an habitual habit.sometimes it is what fate deals you how things happen time and time again

There used to be a rule about three felony convictions, and you're in for life... 🤔

Consider the case of Billy Wayne Brown, a Texas prisoner doing a life sentence for having written three insufficient funds checks with a total value of $ 952.

Billy Wayne was first arrested in 1968 when he bounced a $56 car insurance check His second case came in 1975: a $256 check for a CB radio and antenna. The third case was for a $640 rent check he bounced in October, 1981.

Looks like one month after his last arrest or last conviction... Texas upped it to only a Felony if it's over $750... which none of his were...

@Viper

Life imprisonment for less than $1000?!

The governor ought to commute sentences like that.

@Thinkerbell I meant to post the link, but it's funny that you mentioned that, as the article was talking about Texas Governor George Bush and weather he should commute it or not... it was really old information lol

But yes, my understanding is that in the south (especially Texas) check fraud was a serious offense, which included low amount checks bouncing...

Of course, I just remembered an USFL story where they said the football players would race over to the bank on payday, because the first ones would be paid out and the last ones would always bounce... as the owner was asset rich but cash poor... and never had enough money in the bank to pay everyone right away... and I thought that guy was in Texas, but I don't know what years or what amounts those were.

Yes! They obviously need to stay there. Society is too lenient on these people!

Perhaps sending them to jail wasn't the most effective thing to do.
