In European and Asian countries, inmates don't receive cable television and in-home gyms. This is supposed to be punishment not the Hilton Hotel. The jurors in the O.J. Simpson trial once said they were being treated like criminals, but they didn't have cable television and gym equipment like the fine, outstanding members of society in our jails and prisons. These are luxuries that many people can not afford, but criminals should because they broke the laws. The punishments have to be altered, for they are too loose.
Many criminals go to jail for two months and leave.
These include rapists, burglars, child abusers and many more. I believe that parole should be abolished and criminals should live out their full sentences. Living in New York, I hear stories about parolees who commit the same crime again or even to a worse degree. The fear criminals once had of going to jail is gone because a lot of them serve one month and get out. New York State Attorney General Dennis Vacco, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and other legislators support a repeal of parole as well.
