This is under Lite Discussion for a reason, mind you. I expect a conversation on it. There is no "other" option on anything like it for a reason. Take a side, dammit.
I vote for 1000 criminals getting away scot free. They're bound to get cocky and try something again, wherein they'll get caught, or else they'll shut up and not do anything else.
So vote.
Criminals going free; that's the point of the legal system here, to ensure innocent people aren't doing time in prison/put to death.
True that. Innocent until PROVEN guilty.
those innocent men could be innocent for that certain crime, but what if they commited hundreds of crimes before?
1000 innocent men to teh soap-dropping place of teh devil!!

putting 1000 inocent ppl in prison = as bad as sadame queer bait

thats bad... that means that 1000+ people will get hurt.
i voted 1000 innocent people being put into prison. society will not get hurt and some of them are bound to do crimes in the future....
but then again i feel sorry about the getting analy raped part....

Apparently, you've never had a loved one, go to prison -_-
I say niether. If our country had it's problems fixed (No deb; Thus, no poor commiting crimes. No public violence; Thus, no more teenagers commiting hanus criems, ect...)
It's only opinion though. That's all Lite & Serious discussion is. Enless you are talking about a thread that you can suply proof to....
ADDITION:
BTW, why do you assume that everyone that goes to prison, get's mollested? My brother went to prison for two years, and was never touched like that -_-
oh are you reffering to me? uh.... well maybe he didnt go to a really bad prison.... or maybe his ass isnt tight i dunno.....
i think that like the prisons that have a high populance of sexual molesters are the ones that you get molested....
I wouold free 1000 people who was unlucky and became criminals when they didnt want to be

It depends on the crime, but Criminals for Kame's reason.
Cop or a Lawyor. hmm...
I'd choose 1000 criminals getting away scot free. I wouldn't want to be held responsible for imprisoning people. I'd rather like to be seen as a redeemer. Although I probably wouldn't.

Imprisoning Free people. You can just get them out later. Criminals are a bit harder to find afterwards.
I'd rather have 1000 innocent men go to jail. I'd rather than than release 1000 murderers back into society. Imprisoning the innocent would have a lesser effect on society I think.

Unless you factor in morale. What if the population of the town we are talking about is only 2000?? Then everyone's in jail!

no1 said that the 1000 ppl you realise would be murderers. they could be there just for the night becuz of a distpute and it got physical person called police, they could be there for theft, for rapist...well you get the picture, realesing 1000 prisioners doesnt mean they're all gonna go and start killing ppl, or were there for killing anyone in the first place.
I'd let loose criminals due to our "wonderful social security" will save us. Thanks bush you moron.
1000 innocent men receiving imprisonment. You can get those 1000 men OUT later. WHereas if u let 1000 men OUT of prison, they would be harder to find and put back IN.
I'd have to say letting out 1000 people.. Only because them doing any harm isn't a given.. Hey, it could just so happen they all become good citizens.

Pwnt!
Wow-- this is one of those questions. It's like asking if you would like to die by thousands of spiders biting you or ten thousands of ants biting you.
I'm going to say let 1000 criminals out. About 10% of them will continue doing crimes and get away with it, 40% of them will give up on crime because they don't want to go back to prison life, and 40% will eventually go back to prison for getting caught again.
well... what about the other 10%?
Don't know. Nobody knows. That's the "other" part.
That 10% could die, run away forever, get aids, et cetra.
Problem with letting 100 criminals is that it could cause massive collateral damage. Most crimes have a very high repeat rate.
1000 Innocent Men in a "Canadian" prison.
I don't know for you but our Prison rock, Cafeteria, own toilet, nice bed, TV and Xbox per cell. You only have to suck 1 Greasy Rooster a day! A good place to live

no... that would mean your prisons suck. giving prisoners pleasure in going to jail is the opposite of what they are suppose to be. jail is something you put people into for punishment not rewards
