May 6, 200917 yr No because they're likely to do the crime again, and that's when the real problems start. It won't be a crime anymore, honestly some of the people here aren't thinking. Let's take weed for example, let's say they decriminalize it. Then yes, they're going to smoke weed, but it will be LEGAL, so what's the big deal?
May 6, 200917 yr I think so. Especially how prisons are overcrowded. Then again, if they can't handle life outside, they might commit a worse crime, if that makes sense. Doomy edit: I like sheep
May 6, 200917 yr Views in this post range from people who believe that all laws are perfect and would never change, even hypothetically, to those who took a lesson from history (Nick's example). If the government changes a law it was because it was immoral or unjust, therefore keeping certain prisoners in jail would be unjust. Sure, they broke the law during their time, but if the government really wants to show the public that they acknowledge the unjust crime they need to release everyone that was bagged for it. In a perfect world, of course.
