New Bill: No food Stamps for those Convicted of Violent Crimes

[⠀⠀⠀]

this is bad. really bad

Horrible move

Food is probably the last thing you wanna fuk wit. Nice cars and clothes? Nikkas can pass on...but not food.

Grocery store/convenience store theft is going to increase, thus more prisoners and more tax dollars to feeding prisoners. Its almost like they want this cycle to continue, how can someone with a criminal record really get out the system if they can't get a job, and now wont be able to get food stamps?

Sometimes i wonder if they actually think these decisions through, or do they just pass these bills out of anger

was coming in here to post this almost word for word u read my mind b

No more steak and lobsters for all those convicts who were on foodstamps now

but for real, this is fukked up. Can't find a job, can't get foodstamps, and now these nikkas bout to be out here robbing everybody else just to eat what is the purpose of this?

seems the people at Yale agree:

Researchers at Yale University have found that making drug offenders ineligible for food stamps puts them “at greater risk of engaging in dangerous, sexual risk behaviors in order to obtain food,”

Took a Yale professor to come to that conclusion huh

You can't vote as a convict but you can get food stamps? Nah.
Plus violent offenders are most likely going to end up back in jail anyway. If they were saying all convicts will be denied food stamps then I'll have a problem.

What a simple minded answer lol

You really have no idea a the can of worms this would open

Yes they should be punished.. No one is saying they shouldn't.. But what's the point in taking food away from a criminal when he's just going to find a way to eat regardless

And end up back in prison where he will be living off free food while incarcerated

Lol this is really one of the dumbest ideas I've seen in a long time

What you fail to realize is that instead of discouraging criminal behaviour this is actually going to ENCOURAGE criminal behaviour
