Kates Law

Good intentions but largely a waste of time.

States already cannot pay for the massive amount of people we try to keep seperate from society. So what do they do? Early parole, governors grant early release, courts hand out concurrent sentences so they serve less time, etc.

I'll clap when lawmakers figure out a way to keep folks from committing crime. Longer sentences, given the last four decades, are not the answer.
