Grits never thought we'd see this day come: Texas conservatives lecturing Canadians that "tough on crime" policies are ineffective. Said Texas House Corrections Committee Chairman Jerry Madden, "It's a very expensive thing to build new prisons and, if you build 'em, I guarantee you they will come. They'll be filled, OK? Because people will send them there. But, if you don't build 'em, they will come up with very creative things to do that keep the community safe and yet still do the incarceration necessary."
Read the whole piece. I found it quite a hoot. Further evidence, if more were needed, that public attitudes are changing, even (especially?) among conservatives, about the criminal justice system.
