Okay so I am trying to study anatomy because I have a big quiz tomorrow that I really do not know that much about and I am all hyped up on sugar because I have had way to much sweet tea so I can not focus but mostly because I keep thinking about something and it is driving me crazy. I just do not understand why we do not have harsher punishment for criminals. I mean really, lets think about it this way. Your homeLESS, as in no home at all, no food at all and no money, AT ALL. What in the world would be holding you back from winning a free prize of free housing, food, and the best library in the state of Tennessee? That prize being jail to us but in their eyes a “home.” To them, nothing because it is not like jail is worse than what they have been doing. So what are they going to do, because crime in Memphis so they can hurry and take that “go to jail card.” That is why crime keeps on happening because there is really no harsh punishment. If we actually did punish them, they would not do it! I say if they steal, you cut off a finger. What ever they do; we do to them; instead of just giving them free rent and food for a couple months and then off they go to repeat the cycle.

Okay, Courtney, I appreciate your feelings on this subject. However, when you make statements like those in your post, you need to be very careful to avoid generalizations, hyperbole and unsubstantiated assertions. What kind of evidence or reference do you have for your position that jail is better than being homeless? You might be right, but your argument is vulnerable.
