>The judges should be frustrated. But, they are also part of the problem. There should be a uniform sentencing mandate, not a guideline. Another problem is that the justice system treats the fifth time offender (at least here in Memphis) like a first timer, unless they are convicted of a felony. We've got one "substitute" who has been arrested 208 times, mostly for prostitution, but also for burglary, aggravated assault, drugs, and robbery. I think at some point these people should become property of the state, because they have already demonstrated they can't be trusted to do the right thing.
What is the meaning of "substitute" in this context? - Also, is prostitution, in general, illegal?
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
