[QUOTE="soberups, post: 971753, member: 14668"] I'm not a big fan of Sheriff Joe. While I do not have a problem with spartan conditions for [I]convicted[/I] inmates, I [I]do[/I] have a problem with housing people in such conditions when their ONLY crime is being unable to post bail [I]before[/I] their trial. Our legal system is founded upon the presumption of innocence, and until they are convicted in a court of law they should not have to endure such conditions just because it satisfies our collective desire for "revenge". I would also like to see more of an emphasis on rehabilitation and drug treatment in our justice system. No matter how miserable you make the jail experience with tents, pink underwear etc, it will not necessarily be a deterrent towards future crimes when we are talking about people with substance abuse issues, poor impulse control, and the inability to comprehend the consequences of their actions.
