Legislatures make them up for thousands of crimes and just "decide" what the lengths should be.....look into the legislative histories, they are entirely made up
So, I would really appreciate if people stopped treating sentence lengths like messing with them would be like losing the royal jewels or taking food from starving children.....most research suggests they are WAY TOO LONG to be efficient or effective
People respond that sentences are - in essence - a promise b/w a judge and a survivor of crime....I can understand that, but it doesn& #39;t make it okay that they are totally irrational promises in the first place....or that people have to live irrational promises out inside cages
We are all subject to thousands of laws with thousands of penalties and NONE OF THEM are created with any rational relationship between the crime committed and a good outcome, which should be the point....and people have to live those irrational sentences out..not okay
