Corrupt. Ignorant. Unteachable. Folly. Stupidity.

Every one of these words would adequately describe the idiocy that is the parole system. Let me tell you a little story...

In 1966 a man named Kenneth Allen McDuff killed three teenagers and went to jail for life on the condition that he would "never have the chance for parole".

Fair enough? I'd say so.

But, in 1991 he was paroled (?) and killed five more women.

The same is the case for many other horrible killers...

What has bred such stupidity in an institute of the United States that was designed to curtail such stupid acts?

I guess the debatable question should be: 'Why is there such a problem in the Justice System, and what can be done to curb it'?

the problem is people who shouldn't become judges.

a President, or a govenor gets elected and rewards his or her donators. with a judicial appointment, mayhaps?

judges should be impartial, and should be blind to all but the crime.

how is 'the ten commandments' judge impartial?

how would a 'women's rights activist' judge be impartial?

the problem lies in how judges are selected. Judges are appointed. which means to fix the judicial system, judges need to be found in a different manner.

voting= no. we don't need politicians as judges.
appointment= no.

so what is the solution?

the solution is to have people who would be good judges nominated. these people would not be allowed to campaign. they would be interviewed (by say a senatorial committee) and then the committee would pick 3.

these 3 would be picked to counteract each other's view. they would be a judicial unit, and they would always be on the same cases.
