But the people who live in the average communities love revenge, more than community security. I hope I'm doing the right thing. The time it would take to properly investigate so that I would know all the facts is cost and time prohibitive. Too many of these people do not fit into preplanned programs and need special attention, which is not available. I can only do the best I know how, with limited knowledge of each situation.
Truth is good, but discovering it is expensive.
They need treatment or rehabilitation programs beyond the ability of our prison facilities. Surprisingly, I have found in some cases, prison wardens have a very fatherly heart for young adult people in their prison. They wish they could do more to help them. However, they are very much aware that the public in general, wants revenge, not treatment. I am saying that too often we spend big bucks for little results, just because we haven't bothered to focus on solving the problem.
