Yeah, it is truly a sad state of affairs. I am not all about the 'touchy feely' solution to the crime problem where everyone just needs a hug, but how do you punish the poor when they have nothing but their freedom to take away?
Throwing everyone in cells certainly isn't the answer and more effort needs to be put in to programs. It is just too bad that the government manages to spend insane amounts on worthless studies that end up telling us nothing and solving nothing.
