Are they actually innocent?

Some of you are funny...

Canadian jails are over capacity, people convicted of smaller crimes are sharing cells with convicted murders. Do we build more jails? Send people convicted of theft to jail so they can learn to be better criminals? Why are thieves getting a slap on the wrist? Probably because there's nowhere to put them.

Adam Kargus, 29, serving a 165 day sentence for using stolen IDs to buy cellphones - locked up with a convicted murderer with a history of violence. Beaten to death in his own cell, did a life sentence for stealing ID's. Yeah, we got problems alright. 270 people killed in Canadian jails in the last 5 years. What's the answer? No idea.

So come up with some answers instead of being negative.

That's the thing.. It's cyclical.

Criminals aren't afraid to go to jail, They know what they can do (illegally) to only get a slap on the wrist.

Also let's face it, they get it better while incarcerated than ALOT of regular hard working law abiding civilians.

IMHO.. You go to jail.. you lose all your rights.. Take away their "country clubs", and throw them in a tent with nothing but their clothes and a blanket. It would only take one winter for these criminals to want to be apart of society again.

Then ontop of that you have to pay for your stay.. Put them to work. Make them NOT want to return.

IMHO again.. Sheriff Joe had it right..
