Dr. Robert DuPont says to fight the drug epidemic we need a "credible baseball bat," a bottom addicts hit before entering treatment.  Somebody usually has a baseball bat to the addict's head making them enter treatment.  Eureka!  Judicial corporal punishment or the threat of it is needed to fight the opioid epidemic.

A "Get Out of Jail Free Card" Will Not Work    Most of America's prison reform advocates only approach the issues from the standpoint of the prisoner-as-victim.  Law enforcement policies under the prevailing liberal view are characterized as the main cause and perpetrator of mass incarceration.  We rarely hear these folks tell us what punishment the guilty should have or how criminals should accept the consequences of their crimes.  Many times they propose drug treatment, Drug Court, therapy, commitment to mental institutions, rehabilitation, "alternative sentences," and the extremely general solutions of fairness, equality, education and "community corrections."  Most critics of mass incarceration focus on the process, not the substance of the problems.     The process is flawed, they say, because of the failed War on Drugs, inadequate indigent defense, excessive prosecutorial power, mandatory sentences, exce...

HOW TO CREATE AMERICAN MANUFACTURING JOBS

"How to Create American Manufacturing Jobs" has been published and released by the Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy , a publication of the University of Tennessee Law School.  Citation: Vol. 9 - Issue 2, Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy 161 (Fall 2013), now available on Westlaw.  For those who do not have access to Westlaw, here is a summary: Right now, 50 states and the federal government (not to mention city and county jails) have total control over every single aspect of prison industries.  Total control must give way to more contractual and trade freedom of action.  The United States could create many manufacturing jobs if they would free employers, prisoners and Departments of Correction to manufacture goods in prison free of almost all government employment laws and regulations, and subject to contracts between willing prisoners and willing private manufacturers, who must also contract with the prison systems for space and other accommodatio...
