Yesterday, the Chief Turd Polisher for Robert and Elizabeth Haskell's Martinsville Bulletin, Ginny Wray, ran an editorial agreeing with Gov. Perdue's decision.
Obviously, Ms. Wray didn't get the memo from the Haskells' Public Welfare Foundation on "Criminal Justice":
This program explores alternatives to incarceration for criminals, such as "victim restitution, community service, and community supervision." It advocates education, vocational training, and employment and counseling services for prisoners and ex-convicts. It calls for "fair and effective legal representation for low-income defendants." And it promotes "changes in public policy and practice to foster a more equitable criminal justice system, including programs to ensure that prisons and jails provide humane treatment and policies aimed at returning offenders to the community as productive, law-abiding citizens."...
..."racial profiling by public authorities and xenophobic backlash by extremist groups … with youth of color being targeted, criminalized, and jailed".
