You are familiar with the penitentiary system, you know about the one-sixth and one-third rules. You know that if a judge sentences someone to six years in prison for sexual assault, the person can be released after a year. It is possible to be released after serving one-third of the sentence. Are you in favour of forcing people to earn their release? Are you in favour of forcing inmates to rehabilitate themselves by following treatment that might help them to be released at some point and make them function better in society? Sentences will then be longer. That's what matters here. We are talking about longer sentences. Do you think that we'll be more successful in rehabilitating individuals by imposing longer sentences?
