Yeah why have penalties at all? The shortest time the best since nothing works, let’s have them stay 1 day and be back out
How ridiculous. They have to come out to commit another crime don’t they? If they can’t come out, hey no crime!

Statisticians know how to control for variables as simple as two different states. I take it you have never learned statistics and are poo-pooing one of humanity's most powerful tools blindly. The causality of long term sentencing is pretty clear which is why most places in the US aren't doing it anymore.

They wouldn’t even know all the differences in populations exact effects to know what to control for. Do you think people in Phx behave like people in Alabama? Like people in NY?
Are you kidding me
