  • Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
  • Our local, state, and federal law enforcement, judicial system, and correctional system officials and employees work hard to make America safe, and should be commended for their efforts.
  • Criminals should be punished.
  • Punishments should fit the crime.
  • Criminals who are incarcerated should be treated humanely.
  • Our penal system should include a rehabilitative component that works to educate and rehabilitate criminals, and reintegrate them into society.
  • People are inherently good, and should be given a chance to redeem themselves.
