Centro, it seemed like his proposal was pretty straightforward, nothing to do
with taking him into his home. He simply asked, how good should we feel
when a possibly “repeat offender” is taken off the street (for a
period of time) without any avenues toward rehabilitation. Even without
supposing that it was for a drug habit, there are little to no opportunities or
training for job training. As Paul mentioned, the person is going to face
serious CORI problems with employers (and this would be true even if he was
acquitted), though that issue has been gaining greater attention recently.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

certain criminals or types of crimes ought to be removed from the street but even
if that’s the case, it seems like a pyrrhic victory if recidivism receives
no attention.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

but that's why we have judges, who hopefully serve as judicious carriers of
what's best for the individual and what's best for society. <br>

There are plenty of hard luck cases out there, but like asking about riding
scooter at a CM event, I'll ask this, would you take this dude into your home? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
