[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 242690, member: 30"] There is so very much to consider here. Star and gcvmom, I agree with a lot of what you have said. Here are a couple more idea's............... I honestly believe that a big portion of our "criminals" have mental health issue's of some sort. Even if we had services available at no cost to them, are they going to be willing to participate? We all have seen with our own loved ones many times, that for the long haul, they're just not that into medications and therapy. How could we enforce this? Is it even possible? You were a brave soul Star, signing that petition that would allow felony offenders a clean slate with x amt. of years with no repeats so that they could get jobs. I'll be the first to admit that I would be afraid for either myself or my daughters to work along side, rapists and murders, etc. We've had problems with the non convicted types already, much less anyone that shows a known propensity towards these behaviors. I think maybe there could be some sort of creative thinking that would be able to afford these people work, as I understand they just can't get ahead of the game, if there is no opportunity for them to succeed. A very complex problem indeed, I'm interested in reading further replies. [/QUOTE]
