The Aftermath of The Three Strikes Law

In the aftermath of the unfortunate deaths in Chesire Connecticut by two known ex-felons, much of the plees for swift justice for future offenders have died down. This is in result of the uproar by many at the contraversial "Three Strikes and your Out Law", which would put someone who has three felony arrest in jail for 25 years to life. We have seen how many have argued that the parole boards should be reviewed and how their standards may not be up to date. Other have argued that the laws in place are not in place for judges to use discretion and others have argued the opposite defending the judges right to use discretion on the courts in order to judge everyone equally without bias and force. I have see many take this strive for swift justice to the desk of our governor and even completed a petition of over thirty thousand some odd person in the Chesire community to proactively impliment this law into the books.

In the end we see that lawmakers and political officials have noticed the consequences of a three strikes law in Connecticut by understanding the tax burden it would leave and the new problems it would create for our current correctional infrastructure. Prisons as we know are already over-populated and looking at the ways in which the California system has had to deal with the problem only made for a deadlock in the issue being presented.

Like i have stated in my previous blog its happened in the past why all of a sudden do we need to pull to an extreme to satisfy so few. It is the best interest of my state not just a community to look at the bigger picture and endorse new laws that are created equal to those who may not be part of this one sided storm.

I will continue to keep an eye on this issue and many others that may devestate not only the economy of our state but the core of our judicial criminal system in implimenting these types of gung ho laws.
