A speeding ticket for 10 or 15 mph over the speed limit is one thing----doing a hundred and 10 in a 40 mph zone on Mesa Street in El Paso is another.

Cruelty doesn't begin to describe the current system. Seeing recent articles on the heat litigation I read they made $30 million just off of commissary. The prison industry is apparently too lucrative for them to consider fixing it.

In fact, the law limited both corporal punishment and imprisonment to avoid destroying the lives of those who commit crimes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850644485234134534noreply@blogger.com
