ARMY, NOT JAIL

I have a suggestion to make to the judicial system. Our jails are
overcrowded and very costly. We could change that by allowing judges, for
example in the cases of youthful DUI offenses, drug offenses and other
youthful offenses, to offer a choice of jail time or the military. The idea
is not to put hardened criminals in the military, but young people who made
a wrong choice in their life.

In my opinion this is much more beneficial to society and youth than sitting
in a jail cell. To the young person it would be a valuable experience all of
their life. -
