I'm for short sentences and exacting punishment. If you steal from someone immediate compensation should be required upon conviction. The Crown should have the right to sell any property of the convicted to get the amount due. Then apply a short rigorous sentence. If you rape someone the lash should be used upon conviction. Give the convicted two years of rigorous work to complete. No mercy but make it short. But if you're a career criminal you really are a piece of garbage. I want no state money used to keep you. I don't even want you in the flippin' country. Termination is the only acceptable solution.
