Three-strikes law for convicted felons. We are plagued by repeat offenders with long felony records who take advantage of our revolving-door syndrome and continually prey on the innocent. Life without parole for the third felony conviction will send a message to career criminals that society will no longer tolerate their indifference and callous misbehavior. This is not only a cost-saving measure but will let our young people see what happens to you when you embark on a career of crime. We have the ideal weather for such camps and they can be constructed on state lands on each island.
Felons can spend long, hot days working in the sun to pay off their debts to society.
Prostitutes' main source of revenue is stealing and they are ruining our family-oriented tourist destinations, particularly Waikiki. Making this crime a felony with a mandatory prison sentence will go a long way to ridding our state of this pestilence. Eliminate the juvenile justice system for all teen-agers 14 or older who commit felony offenses. Corporal punishment at our public schools. Return corporal punishment as an option for our teachers and administrators and protect them from civil and criminal penalties.
