It seems that today many crimes and
vicious acts are committed and the perpetrator goes, for the most part,
unpunished. Often the public has to
“care for” those you are in prisons for years.
This is all at the expense of the taxpayers.
First, let me explain I’m not talking
about those who have been unjustly tried and have been spending their lives
behind bars due to no fault of their own.
There are some that we are learning about today who have themselves
become victims of the legal system. I’m
referring to those individuals who are known to have committed crimes and now
sit within jail cells waiting to find out if they are “competent” enough to
stand trial.
There are some individuals who have been
“waiting” for years and yet are no closer to being held accountable for their
crimes than they were on the day they committed them! The only persons having any real benefit from
such situations are the lawyers. The
families of those who were killed are certainly not gaining any closer or peace of mind!
I’m not purposing this as the only reason,
but let’s consider the situation today for some. With economic conditions as they are it’s
hard to find work for many. The costs of
housing, food, medical care, insurance, etc. have continued to climb out of the
reach of many. Perhaps for some the
easier way is to commit some type of crime and let the “state” take care of
you.
Consider this: If you are sent to prison your housing is
cared for, you have good meals every day, you get medical care provided to you,
there are no worries about insurance and you can even be given some type of
work to do for pay! You can also avail
yourself of educational training and in some cases individuals have gotten
college degrees while they were in prison.
It would seem that everything would be
better for you by committing a crime and getting all your needs cared for by
the “state”. However, I am NOT recommending that you follow
this plan. Things may not work out for
you for many other reasons. But again
we’re only human!

but within their own minds."
