I'm sure the ISP have already sent them their FOID revocation letters...

(FOX) Chicago police say they took 56 illegal guns off city streets between Friday and Sunday and 22 people were arrested.

The weekend before that, there were 53 weapons arrests. A police spokesman says more than half of those 53 arrested have already been released on bond.

Despite the efforts, gun violence across Chicago from 5 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday claimed the lives of several people, including a teen shot to death Saturday in Englewood.

In total, shootings within city limits over Father’s Day weekend left at least six people dead and 22 others wounded.

Hi,

 

Cook County Jail has been downsized over the years in a deliberate plan. If they reactivated the formerly occupied divisions there would be plenty of room for violent criminals to remain in custody.

 

There are now about 6,500 prisoners there, in a physical plant that at one time held 10,000.

 

Jail capacity is not the problem. It is the interrelated failings of other parts of the county's criminal justice dyste.m.

 

FWIW.

There are actually prison abolitionists out there. They believe that all prisons are bad for all criminals.

Critical Resistance (CR) is building a member-led and member-run grassroots movement to challenge the use of punishment to cure complicated social problems. We know that more policing and imprisonment will not make us safer. Instead, we know that things like food, housing, and freedom are what create healthy, stable neighborhoods and communities. We work to prevent people from being arrested or locked up in prison.

Sure, prisons are bad for criminals, but that's not the point. The point is that criminals are bad for the rest of us, that's why we lock 'em up.

It is a system wide failure. There are simply no place to put criminals. Cook County lockup is bursting at the seams.

 

Isn't there an entire brand new empty prison floating around in Illinois somewhere? I thought they were talking about using it to house terrorists instead of Gitmo.

They need to tighten up the laws on the FFLs. That will solve the problem.

 

You are a genius.

That WILL solve every problem related to any criminal activity.

It’s what the IL Legislature believes.

Maybe the judges should keep sentencing them correctly and force the state to build more prisons. With the taxes we pay at least we should get some safety in our everyday life. We dont need casinos.

A great big wall around the city of Chicago. Lock them in it and don't let them out.

 

Cool, as long as the rest of the state doesn't drag the economy down to 45th place or so.

 

Would 44th be ok then?

If you teach your children they come from animals, why should anyone be surprised when they act like one.

I worked on that story years ago. Planned actual capacity is 5000... but need forced them to cram over 10000 into that space. The only reason they were dumping inmates was to house what the facility could handle.

One does not need to believe in (or even be taught) creation over evolution to behave like a civil human being.

No, but understanding one will be held to account at the reckoning tends to temper we sinner's enthusiasm.

No argument with that premise.
