Gov. Deal Says GA Can't Afford to Not Have Prison Reform


Recommended Posts

I posted about this last month but some insisted it was not that big of a deal. Looks like the budget is a big deal and the governor thinks it is important too. The problem is that we can't afford the feel good laws that "get tough" on crime. We have to start making choices about what crimes we want to say are no longer worthy of long sentences or even prison time at all.

If anything should be a top priority, it should be to keep us safe. Getting tough on criminals is absolutely a priority. As long as that is the purpose, I am fine with it. Let's wait and see.
