On the recordFebruary 1, 1995
Well, I would like to say that that is a matter then of funding. It is a matter of authorization. And I believe in truth in sentencing. I do not believe that every person convicted of a crime needs to be necessarily sentenced to prison. But I think those who are sent to prison should serve basically the sentence imposed by the judge, not only for the integrity of the criminal justice system but for public safety. So I believe in the program. I would be willing to work with the gentleman in finding as much authorization and funding to support that, if we pass the bill.
