STEMMING THE TIDE

TO THE EDITOR: Oklahoma is the nation's No. 1 incarcerator of women because 
district attorneys and judges give outrageous sentences for laws that were 
made up by men, and then ultimately broken by addiction. Let's stop 
throwing away the key against our friends and family in Oklahoma. It 
doesn't take a task force to know how to solve this problem.

What ever happened to the Ten Commandments? Those rules should be 
punishable with a prison sentence. Not human weakness.
