It's a good place to hit someone, too, for the emotional effect. Did you know that there's a place you can hit someone in the abdomen area that induces feelings of happiness?

Anyway, this is off the subject a little, but a fun story. My uncle is a customs officer in Logan and at Pease in NH. He was telling a story about a recent death by OD - a woman smuggled condoms full of cocaine and one popped. Instant death when that much coke floods your system. When someone is suspected of smuggling, they are given an X ray to detect the condoms. I asked how they determine suspects. He said you pull them out of line, stand them against a wall (he stands a little of 6 feet and weighs about 220) and you press your hand against there heart and start asking questions.

Many of whom are elected officials. Very easy to get re-elected based in fear and tough on crime platforms. And probably are. Unfortunately in New Hampshire you can be a convicted felon for all of those things. been a defense attorney for four years here. change is needed. maybe it's comin? i've got hope. it isn't working and it's costing us a lot. in many ways.

I imagine the drunk driving laws vary from state to state but in Wisconsin it's not a felony until the 5th offense. I'm not well versed in the different classes of felonies but I think the rehabilitation argument probably holds across all of them. A prison's job is to detain people, not fix them. If people need rehabilitation and not detention, it's in the judge's hands to levy those terms, isn't it? can be but probably won’t be, lady lawyer.

If that's true, then isn't prison what you make of it? What percentage of felons can be rehabilitated? Probably not 0 and probably not 100 and where we think the number lies is probably a good litmus test for our political leanings. I'm not even sure the government should be held responsible for rehabilitation of convicted felons, though it sounds like a reasonable service to offer. Maybe the best we can do is keep them out of society for a period of time and hope that the experience itself is enough to deter them from following that path again (and yes, I'm aware of how poorly that actually works out).
