Prisons must go.
“Is that what you suggest? We should open all prisons and let all the prisoners out? The gangsters? The murderers? The kidnappers? Let them return and flood the community? Is that what you believe, that we should abolish the prisons? And make the community an open battle field?”
Yes, this is exactly what I believe – because this is exactly what happens.
