WISCONSIN IS KNOWN AS THE LOCK-UP STATE

I am a taxpayer. The truth-in-sentencing law does need to be changed back
to the old law. Has Lucas or anyone she loves ever been sentenced to
prison? Obviously not.

Wisconsin is no longer known as the Dairy State. We are now known as the
lock-up state. I think people are crazy to move here. We are so worried
about locking people up we don't have the money to help the homeless or the
poor. Did Lucas ever think that if we didn't have so many people locked up,
the state would have more money to put toward the homeless/poor instead of
paying other states to hold our inmates?

If Lucas wants the free dental, medical, food, etc., go to prison. I'm sure
any one of the inmates would trade places with her. The poor and homeless
can get free attorneys also, but they don't always do all they can, so it's
not exactly an advantage.

Lucas has the right to her opinion, but she is no one to say who can or
can' t write to the paper. This is a free country, where everyone has
rights - even those who make mistakes. We already took away their right to
vote. But if we needed them to defend our country, I bet Lucas would think
they were good enough.

There is only person who has the authority to judge people - and it is NOT
S.L. Lucas.
