EDUCATED IDIOTS HOPE REALIGNMENT WILL CURE CRIMINALITY

Only educated idiots could hope that, because prison inmates are now being handled at the local level, Gov. Moonbeam’s realignment program will cure them of their criminality. Cure them of their criminality? These guys must be smoking a hefty dose of Kookfornia’s medical marijuana.

Here is an excerpt from ‘Projections and Uncertainty” by Richard Krupp, Ph.D which was posted on Monday’s PACOVILLA Corrections blog:

Recent viewpoints expressed by Roger Warren of the National Center for State Courts and Barry Krisberg of UC Berkley have been supportive of the “realignment procedure.” In part the hope is that “evidence-based treatment programs” will cure the inmates of their criminality if they stay at the local level. Unfortunately there is little if any “evidence” that any program will “cure the inmates” of their criminal behavior. This is actually a major outside variable. Criminals are not likely to view the “realignment procedure” as a procedure they want to undergo.

Criminals may view all of these misguided “procedures” as an opportunity to take advantage of the criminal justice system. For example, the murder rate in Stockton went up 50% in 2010 compared to the prior year and the 54th murder a few days ago surpassed last years’ total. California citizens are likely to bear the brunt of the realignment one way or the other.
