I'm interested in the criminal justice system of our country. It seems to me that something has to be done, if we're to survive as a country. I certainly don't know what the answers to our problems are. Things certainly get complicated in a hurry when you get into them, but I wonder if something couldn't be done to deal with some of these problems. One thing I'm concerned about is our practice of putting offenders in jail who haven't harmed anyone. Why not work out some system whereby they can pay back the debts they owe society instead of incurring another debt by going to prison and, of course, coming under the influence of hardened criminals.
我對我們城市的犯罪公正系統(tǒng)很感興趣,在我看來如果我們想生存在我們城市,很多事情都需要完善。我確實(shí)不知道這些問題的答案。事情在你匆忙著手時(shí)總會(huì)變得更加復(fù)雜,但我想知道會(huì)不會(huì)有些什么不能做來應(yīng)對其中的一部分問題。我所關(guān)心的一件事是關(guān)于我們把觸犯法律卻沒有對任何人有過傷害的人關(guān)入監(jiān)獄。為什么我們不能在減少犯罪的前提下規(guī)定一些規(guī)則使他們償還欠社會(huì)的債,而不是通過把他們關(guān)入監(jiān)獄來制造更多的債。
