• Focus on prevention, not punishment
• Costly to prosecute, house, feed and care; also loss of potential tax revenues
• Better to have tax paying citizens than tax draining ones
• Funding for longer sentences should be attached to measures
• Most victims would probably like crime not to happen than have person jailed
• Good economy providing good lives for people a good preventer
• Government fails it's citizens, the citizens fail the community
• Time in the corner (jail) can be useful, and provide a wake-up or time to detach
• Death penalty in Oregon a costly farce that hasn't involuntarily killed anyone
• Branding crimes as domestic terrorism is arguably unconstitutional
