You mean they didn’t??
I wonder why if they are so hot on Law and Order?
Oh dear! No, of course not - these are only 'honest fraudsters' just looking to 'help people', not actual criminal types.
Or something.
I came across this earlier, I think it says it all.
“I am convinced that imprisonment is a way of pretending to solve the problem of crime. It does nothing for the victims of crime, but perpetuates the idea of retribution, thus maintaining the endless cycle of violence in our culture. It is a cruel and useless substitute for the elimination of those conditions--poverty, unemployment, homelessness, desperation, racism, greed--which are at the root of most punished crime. The crimes of the rich and powerful go mostly unpunished.”
