PROPOSITION 47 SHOULD BE REPEALED

Re: "Prop. 47 giving men, women second chance" [Opinion, Aug. 21]: B. 
Wayne Hughes Jr. notes that Prop. 47 changes lives. I couldn't agree 
more. Now that we have so many more homeless drug addicts being 
released into our neighborhoods and cities, our life has indeed 
changed. What is it that supporters of this proposition don't 
understand? When you don't hold people accountable for their actions, 
they will repeat those actions over and over. And why is it now 
"non-serious" to steal up to $950 from me?

If the jails are too crowded, add a few more floors. I have no 
problem with my tax money being used for rehabs, but without the 
threat of jail and a felony record, not many will choose rehab over 
being released to the streets. Prop. 47 should be repealed.
