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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
