A progressive/liberal idea.

I'd like to see the U.S. follow an example being set by Brazil. Nobody stays in prison longer than 30 years. Regardless of the severity of the crime. Sounds like a humane approach. Because the ultimate aim is rehabilitation. Brazilians also have introduced a program that allows for reduced sentences for prisoners that read good litertature. For each book report, prisoners get a certain number of days knocked off their sentences. Sounds like a progressive/liberal idea --Jim Broede.
