That's why a qualified that statement with "realistic". Because realistically none of what you are posting will ever happen. Release 75% of the inmates in Jail? So you'd basically be ****ting on the victims of these cases.
As to your so-called "victimless" crimes (I would venture a guess your speaking of narcotics?), I have a couple of things to relay. Having taken children out of dope-houses with untreated illnesses (parents opted to use their gov't med assistance to get the next fix), sleeping in the filthiest of conditions (we're talking pretty bad stuff, the least of which being used syringes in the very beds they were asleep in and I wish I could say these were isolated incidents), I can tell you that hard narcotics are no "victimless" crime. Not to mention the thefts, sex offenses, traffic accidents, and homicides that are committed under the influence of or over narcotics.
Next, I was interviewing a meth-dealer and the case was wrapped up. We had developed a decent rapport as he knew that he was going away for sometime and accepted it as part of "the game". We were just kind of BS-ing on the way to the Jail and we got on the topic of the effects of various drugs. I made the comment "They say dope is a victimless crime." He laughed sarcastically and said "Have you ever met my customers?"
If "caring" is your cross to bear then care for the victims.
