There are two types of criminal. One does not want to get up every day and work and the other does not know how to earn an honest living. For the criminals who want to work but do not know how, I write resumes In my spare time. Deshawn cash money clark is a good example of a kid who never had a chance (as discribed above). This guy was a very successful buisness man. Too bad he wasn't made a productive member of our society as a child thru mentoring. What are we going to do with him when he get out after many years of inmate mentoring. The DOJ and DOC are very hard working but non-productive. The DOJ and DOC want more money every year but crime is the same? Time to try something new.

Dear Recruits, If you guys really!!! want to help fight crime, become politicians and not a cop. What is the most productive way to fight crime? Could it be posible to eliminate crime? Here's my answers. The most productive way to make people act the way society wants them to act is to teach them as children just as we as parents teach our children. To prove my point. Most of the people in our prison systems (on the national level) come from under prilaged white or under privileged minority families. I do not understand why the laws requires a child to "govern himselve" by making sure he has good mentors. As much as 60 percent of inmates were unable to govern themselves as children and ended up with a Mom who could not control the kids, other inmates and kids that sell drugs as mentors. 22,000 a year for a state inmate and 75,000 a year for a federal inmate is more then enough to have state paid mentors in our day cares and schools. 1 mentor for every 3 boy's thru 12 grade.
