Oh well good, keep him in prison and keep the heroin dealers and rapists on the streets since there's one less cell for them. I'm sure this guy harmed so many people.
...
They don't run out of cells. Somebody won't get convicted of rape, then let loose because there wasn't enough cells. If anything, they'd stuff them in the same cell.
Anyways, chewing gum and walking isn't really that hard to do. <rant>If anything, they need to stop this bullshit war on drugs, or at least make marijuana legal. It's causing more problems than it's solving. Young people everywhere are getting thrown into jail, which not only ruin their lives, yet it costs the tax payers in incredible amount of money. Not to mention the fact that the social views on it turn it more into a gateway drug than it would normally be, and that instead of the money going to honest businessmen that could legally sell it, then money is going to drug dealers and gangs, paying for weapons, etc.</rant>
EDIT: Back on topic: One thing I do have to agree with you with, though, is that this is definitely a waste of our tax dollars.
