Pardon me if I've sent this twice.  Yahoo is slow this
week.  

I am generally opposed to early release of criminals,
and opposed to both the death penalty and to life
imprisonment at the tax-payers expense.  I'm rather in
favor of penal colonies the British used and the
Soviet Style solution:  Siberia.

He who does not work, neither let him eat.  Let the
criminal element be productive or starve. There is no
justice in letting them exist at the expense of
society.

Chaplains could still appeal for the salvation of the
souls of those on Devil's Island but even the converts
should still carry their own weight and serve whatever
sentence was meted out.
