I think that the state of Virginia should bring back parole for state inmates, at less 80% of sentence. Especially if the inmate has shown that he /she has sincerly made changes to reform themselves. Besides that it would create more jobs, especially since we keep closing prisons& people who didn't do anything wrong are losing their jobs, while trying to help society. The other reason is because if we keep taking parents away from kids , the kids are going to grow-up and be in the same places. One day a week, or for some people 1 day a month, or a year. How is this fair to our children who did nothing wrong. Not everyone in jail should be treated like their the worst person in society, sometimes people make mistakes . Unless we make some changes to the system are prisons are just going to get more overcrowded, by the children of our current inmates .
