The Justice System (14)

sociopaths still have the choice in their actions. They can choose to do the wrong thing, or they can walk away.

Very few people dont know right from wrong.

I personally know a peodophile. I know the way they were brought up. They were taught right from wrong. I know the life history of theirs. But taking all of that into consideration it was their choice to take the actions they did, they new it was wrong and they repeated the actions more than once. In fact when in conversation they were very angry towards p*dophile. And believe it or not, they pleaded guilty with the explanation that "So the girls didnt have to face the court, I didnt do it. I am innocent" What is even sicker is there are some that believe the BS that comes from the p*dophile mouth even now.

And I understand reaction from anger, I have experienced "seeing red" in my past, an all consuming rage, more than once. But even then I still had the choice in my reactions. (and I didnt punch the door jam in front of me!)

Some behaviours are inherent.

I have known people who have done time for stealing cars or break and enter. They did the crime because they thought they could get away with it, and they did for a while. Being in gaol made them change for the better.

But it doesn't work for some. Best example is a character named Darcy Dugan who spent more than half of his life in gaol. Within weeks of getting out when he was in his 60s (they were feeling sorrow for him), he was involved in an armed robbery. Some never change.

People who do a crime need to pay the price. Prisons are so soft now with prisoners having "rights" while their victims continue to suffer. Prisoners even have the right to vote these days.

They get free accommodation, 3 decent meals a day, clean linen and clothing, have tv, computer access for some, access to education, free medical with no waiting list for surgery, free counselling, a gym to get fit, and some even go out to work and get paid.
