In the paper yesterday there was an interesting article about Florida prisons. Apparently certain lawmakers want to pass a law to be able to send prisoners out of state to finish out their terms when Florida prisons get overcrowded(instead of just releasing non-violent criminals like pot smokers and white collar criminals). Anyway, the prison system personnel don't want that; my guess is the prisoners might like living in other states and ask for transfers!
So, my solution would be to take a page from that great Lee Marvin movie The Dirty Dozen, and get criminals (especially the violent ones) to take the place of our soldiers in Iraq. That way, the good guys get to come home, the criminals get to kill and be killed, & the prisons will slowly empty out.
Hey, it worked in the movies...of course we might have to resurrect Lee Marvin to lead them, since he was one of the baddest of the badasses after all...
