I’m interested in the criminal justice system of our country. It seems to me that something has to be done, if we’re to (26) as a country. I certainly don’t know what the answers to our problems are. Things certainly get complicated (27) when you get into them, but I wonder if something couldn’t be done to deal with some of these problems. One thing I’m concerned about is our practice of putting (28) who haven’t harmed anyone. Why not work out some system whereby they can pay back the debts they owe society (29) incurring another debt by going to prison and, of course, coming under the influence of hardened criminals. I’m also concerned about the short prison sentences people are (30) for serious crimes. Of course one alternative to this is to (31) capital punishment, but I’m not sure I would be for that.

I also think we must do something about the (33) plea. In my opinion, anyone who takes another person’s life intentionally is insane, however, that does not mean that the person isn’t (34) of the crime, or that he shouldn’t pay society the debt he owes. It’s sad, of course, that a person may have to spend the rest of his life, or a large part of it (35) for acts that he committed while not in full control of his mind.
