They have too much freedom...If you are convicted of something that you did do...WHY do they have so many rights in prison, BE STRICTER on them, stop giving them a life away from home type atmosphere...they ARE supposed to be paying for their crimes, not sitting in luxury on computers, TV, etc...make them WORK for their restitution!!! And take away priviledges ! They aren't there on a vacation, they ARE there to pay for what they did wrong!!
