Report: Adjust Policy on Who Gets Sent to State Jails
A new report argues that state jails aren't meeting their goal of helping to reduce crime by intensively treating short-term, nonviolent inmates, and it recommends that judges no longer be able to sentence felons to state jails without a rehabilitation plan.
The report, published Monday by the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a conservative think tank, says that those convicted of nonviolent felonies and normally sentenced to months in a state-operated jail should instead be released with community supervision.

Social Deflections by Kenneth Ray Rinderhagen Junior December 5, 2012
Understanding the youth, young adults, are lowering their standards for the sake of money, popularity, and even self-cognitive reasoning. The definitions of right from wrong and the importance of right ethical moral standards with high set values and principles is far more important and required as individuals grow and become subject to larger populations, bias weaknesses and bigotry let alone the worst which is when individuals become mentally feared of others and the community.
Rehab for some crimes such as possession and first acquainted to the criminal world is vital to avoid allowing the community to committee self-genocide as it seems criminal minds and acts spread quickly
We all know a strong social mind cloud is pertains to maintain standard social principles strong social groups such as the Anonymous of epic fails (AA,CA,NA, SA,GA) all practice from a book of accepted principles in strength their social and mental conscience
Acceptance and blind initiative is valuable effects when considering the putative socially correct
Weakening the foul of a society influencing right ethical manors is pertinent
Some too many do not believe in the enforcement of right ethical manors, morals, and values nor do they believe that retraining of mental process is valuable and would help their situation of confinement which is difficult as the vaguely or do not understand the society whole and majority vote is what they refused, that got them in trouble. Not the government or law enforcement disregard for the wellbeing, there are still too many that think they have rights under financial means to disgrace the intentions of the country as as United Whole.
There are also cases where their high ethical intentions fail due to their environment being of disgrace and and wish to parlay in dangerous and threat full activity’s
A proper citizen is difficult to find and then consider how trying to develop self-achievement of good character just by simplifying trespassing upon, invading, or mentally cogitating with them about the sociological development
1. Creates unfairness
2. Results in extreme money collections for participation
3. Diminishes the life style, character, reputation of the good citizen
Too many do not understand the importance of societies need for obedience and good behavior; they fail to recognize that misconduct is a detractor.
They are looking at or the society is perceiving the incarcerate rehabilitation in the wrong way
Are inmates required to attend anonymous meetings while in custody pounding and grilled of ethics of society and job skills
Is the treatment focused on a compilation or specific overall characteristics of an individual?
Some are trying to avoid government brain washing though in this manor they are actually refusing social science

The means of science must somehow be accented for its accomplishment to be worthy
