I noticed how Douglas plans on cutting a bunch of state jobs and services to help people, while cutting the budget, but not in prisons--those jobs are safe. The prison industry makes more than the tobacco industry, and that's a burden on the taxpayers. The people who lose their jobs and services are more likely to feel stress and might commit a crime, then needing more prison jobs, and shrinking the ratio of more than 1 in every 100 Americans in prison with each passing day.

Douglas is endorsed by the Corrections Corporation of America, so it doesn't matter to him, because the more CCA, his endorser makes, the more he gets for an endorsement. This is a dangerous cycle that Douglas is perpetuating.

What state jobs is he planning on cutting? The few court stenographers who are left in the state and relying more on easily tampered with recording equipment, which can put more people on record, because things get excluded from trascripts that may be favorable to a Defendant? I can show a few transcripts missing a few things that were said in court, but that's because of faulty recording equipment, or that it's easier to manipulate than a person, and puts more people in jeopardy of losing their freedoms.

Douglas is cutting out of human service programs, and the people those programs help are going to suffer with their problems, without rehabilitation, and quite possibly go to jail, which is not a rehabilitative facility--it is just punishment, and I recommend that everybody research Phillip Zimbardo's prison experiment that was supposed to last a few weeks, but was cut short in a couple days, because of the negative effects on all the participants: students given the roles of guards and inmates--it had negative effects on both these roles, and prisons have a negative role on society, and that is where most of our money is going.
