Aguila Blanca,

So you think that it would be unfair to send up a check forger for a non-violent crime? Simple. Everyone knows that check forgery is a gateway crime, lol. Same standards for non-violent crime. Make it so hard to get back out that they are forced to consider this before committing their white collar crime.

If that is unfair then perhaps the check forger should consider how unfair it was to forge another mans check. My system would have prevented the crime you described because they would have been still locked up.

My system may have some holes in it, but would be better than what we have now. There are some people who may consider lesser crimes because of lesser sentences possible, but that would go away if they had the potential to do as much time as murderers and such. If one had the good fortune to be released and consequently committed a worse crime, then he would never be released again, all things being taken into account.
