Back in England, when we were a colony, England sent criminals to the US and Australia. Might that have been a source or at least a contributing history for the harsh lengthy imprisonments she is talking about
Excellent interview. Thank you Historian Reiko Hillyer for opening our eyes and minds to the history and possibility of clemency programs. Mercy is something we could use more of.
Once again people are forgetting the lessons learn in the past. The change in the use of clememcy was not the result of extraordinary cases like willie horton. It was result of the common problem that the attempts to use the past to predict future action was unsuccessful in a large number of cases. Once again the compassion is for the one responsible not the victim. The parole and clemency processes had significant number of failures. In truth it did have success to. The job of the criminal system is primarily to protect the average citizen. Does mean that compassion and forgiveness not be available. No. But it should be used sparingly.
