I agree something could be done about alcohol abuse. But your last sentence is madness. Unless you mean it sarcastically, which is the only way I can understand it.
I don't understand why it is madness. Care to explain?
I see violent people on the street. They are a danger to me. I want safe streets. House arrest costs taxpayers very little.
If there was an angry bear on the streets threatening people it would probably be relocated, tagged, and confined to the forests as well. Not much different.
Exactly my point. We want to reduce the taxpayer burden of prison, but still keep the streets safe. House arrest is a way to build a cheaper AND more humane prison, and one that is also much better for rehabilitation and access to education and employment.
The cameras would come off once their house arrest term is over.
