You talked about a slippery slope. The ones we're really targeting here—I'm trying to be careful with the words I use--are the dangerous offenders, the people who have been sentenced three times for violent crimes. We're not talking about shoplifters. I don't think it's a good thing to shoplift, but it's not those people we're focusing on. We're focusing on dangerous offenders, on sexual offenders. You know which ones they are. That's why we're not afraid that it's a slippery slope. We're really targeting those people.
And we have to find a way to keep them in. I was at a hearing a week and a half ago, and people had to go and testify there to try to convince the parole board to keep that killer inside. One of them had to go through five weeks of therapy, five days a week, just to be able to attend a hearing that lasted not even an hour. The criminal didn't even present himself at the hearing. He didn't think it was useful for him to be there, to attend that hearing.
They are bizarre people, they are dangerous to our society, and I'm not at all afraid that we're on a slippery slope, not at all.
