The system also proclaims that religion and government are separate, but that is clearly a fallacy (look on money, political candidacy and law based on Christian values, i.e., the Bible - gay marriage). Also, once a convicted criminal in Kentucky or Virginia, voting rights are forever suspended. What you describe does not exist.
Religion and government are seperate in the way that it is suppose to be. The seperation of church and state was so that the government could not make a law regarding religion. No where does it say that religion cannot be used for the basis of a law.
And if that is true about Virginia then that is exactly the type of problem that I am percieving.
I don't agree with it, but the justice system is obviously not based on "once a person serves their time and paid their dues then they are suppose to be free" in the most free interpretation of it.
Agreed, anymore that is not the way the system is. But that is the way that it is suppose to be.
Serial repeat offenders are a danger. Stereotypes that prohibit freedom should not be advanced, but stereotypes that predict repeat offense should be taken seriously. Rather than keeping such people locked up, societal measures, precautions are taken to allow for their freedom but also allow for the protection of those in the same community as those who serial offend others.
If a person is a risk of repeating a crime then don't you think that they should not be released from prison? Someone that wants to do the crime again is not going to care about some stupid registry. And even if people look someone up in a registry that is not going to stop the repeat offender from doing the crime again it only takes about an hour an a half to drive 50 miles from their neighborhood to an area where no one knows him/her.
[how do you mean "treat the problem"]
Find a solution. Why do people that really do abuse animals abuse them? Is it a chemical imbalance? Is it upbringing? What? Find out the cause and address it. Continueal punishment is getting us no where fast.
