Majority of Americans Think U.S. Criminal Justice System is Broken, Ineffective; See Need for Change

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The results of new national research, commissioned by OSI, indicate that most Americans believe the U.S. criminal justice system comprises an ineffective, purely punitive approach to crime.

As crime rates in the United States rise, you see more and more criminals committing felonies and getting a slap on the wrist in return. The reason the number of felonies committed each year is rising is because the punishments for doing so have been too soft. To fix this issue, the criminal justice system must make criminals fear committing felonies by punishing felons way more severely.

The solution to this issue would be to triple the amount of jail time that is currently given to criminals who commit felonies.

The purpose of giving felons more severe punishments is to reduce the rate at, which people commit felonies. By tripling the amount of jail time given for committing a felony, people would be more hesitant to do such evil, and there would be fewer cases of felons being released and committing more crimes.

If a judge is found not giving as much jail time as is needed, they will lose their role as judge and be given a life sentence in prison.
