Russia may abolish many prison terms Published: March. 23, 2011 at 9:46 AM MOSCOW, March 23 (UPI) -- Russia is considering dropping or reducing prison terms for many non- violent crimes, government sources say. A bill drafted by the Justice Ministry will be submitted to the Parliament, the State Duma, by the end of this month, a Duma source told Gazeta.ru. The Moscow Times reports the legislation would abolish prison terms for many offenses in favor of alternative punishments. First offenders for some economic crimes will not be jailed if they repay damages six times over. Other minor and first-time convicts would get fines, house arrest or forced labor instead of prison. Drug users would be offered treatment in lieu of jail. The bill follows other moves by President Dmitry Medvedev to make criminal legislation more humane. The detention of white-collar suspects was banned last year, and minimum sentences were dropped for 68 offenses a few weeks ago. Officials cite rising recidivism as evidence that prison does not rehabilitate criminals. A Kremlin spokesman would not comment on the bill.

America has jailed more people than Stalin.

Your kind just don't want consequences for your actions. Did you know Russians invented prison?
Well, [W.A-R.'s] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
The detention of white-collar suspects was banned last year,.... Sounds like a fascist paradise. Do anything you want and IF you do get caught,you just pay a fine to the state and go back to doing what you were doing before. I wonder if they have a extradition treaty with the west? If not,I wonder how many people connected to Wall Street have been to Russia to buy villas?

Drug users would be offered treatment in lieu of jail. These sound like great ideas to me.
There are way too many people in jail, and they're the wrong people. We need to clear out the jails to make room for government officials and corporate crooks. Release everyone in prison for drugs, arms possession, or "hate" crimes, for starters. We've become a nanny-state with way too many rules and regulations, and corrupt courts and jack booted thugs to enforce them. I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... I see in your retard mind fascism means having less people behind bars. Did you get brain damage from Agent Orange back in 'Nam?

I can tell you that the streets were a lot safer in the '60's, when there were a lot less people in jail, before the nanny-state socialists gained power. After the Civil Rights Act passed, socialists decided that they'd be more comfortable with blacks in jail, so they started passing laws to make being black illegal. That's why there are so many brothers enjoying their civil rights in jail.
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... ROFLMAO! YOU calling me a retard is like Helen Thomas calling Sophia Loren "ugly". BTW,Buckwheat,Fascism and it's little brother communism means EVERYBODY is a prisoner of the state,regardless of where they lay their heads to sleep at night. Not that I expect you to understand this,or anything else much more complex than "water wet".

Biatch, you are on record as wanting more people in jail as a sign of freedom.

And more Liberals!!!!

Not entirely. That's a thumbnail sketch of what the Blue Dog dems and Rockefeller Republicans were up to, in the decade following the Civil Rights Act. Simultaneously we were being hit by the Kennedy NE elitist wing with affirmative action discrimination, and race baiting. Note the sharp rise in incarcerations in the mid 70's. That's about when the socialist "progressives" began making political headway.

Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum. "You want me to kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, I'll kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, Rebs, or Sioux, or Cheyenne... For 500 bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free." Algren, "The Last Samurai" Almost entirely related to the so-called "War on Drugs". Between that and the welfare laws that gave women free room and board if they didn't marry or live with their husbands and had children were responsible for most of it.

Calling you a idiot is giving you undeserved credit. Becoming an idiot is your dream.
