They're understaffed. At an average of $1,700 a year, how can you monitor, how can you supervise, how can you make sure that those persons will not be repeat offenders?
There's another thing about statistics. Years ago when I was a front line police officer, I remember reporting on the day's statistics--for instance, on accidents with injured people. Do you know what? They changed that maybe ten years ago. Now for it to be considered an accident with injured people, the person has to stay in hospital for three days.
So what happened? Are there fewer accidents with injured people? No. We consider it an accident with injured people now if they stay three days in the hospital. But who stays three days in the hospital?
