It is accordingly insufficient to add unreasonable punishment that would increase criminality as a form of rehabilitation unless the true motives of the lawmakers are secretly attempting to continue wreaking havoc in criminals who,by prejudiced, do not approve of their crime. Upon this precipice being a witness to this injustice should provoke great feelings of disgust unless also your in cooperation with the same. Condemning prejudices as lawmakers are hoping you are. Sadly, it will take sheer numbers for this perspective to change as it should have before these unconstitutional bills were passed in ignorance to the nature of each crime individually. It’sy challenge to you to get the facts before a family member of yours is the next victim of these primitive tools measured against people who have made poor choices and suffer consequences of great severity that were instilled as a measure aimed at protection but do anything but protect !
