Florida Lawmaker Seeks To Bring Back “Army Or Jail” Option For Criminals
In the past, criminals have sometimes had the option to join the military to avoid jail time. A Florida Senator has filed a bill that would make this option available to anyone under the age of 25 who is facing fewer than 4 years of jail time – with some caveats of course.The bill would only apply under the following conditions:
“the offender has not been convicted of an offense or, if the offender has prior convictions, is not a habitual felony offender, a habitual violent felony offender, or a violent career criminal.”Read about it...

It's a Democratic senator who wants to do this. It's a stupid idea but I would expect that from a Democrat.
Training a bad guy in the military to protect our people from bad guys--Perfecting his skills--sounds like a plan.
There must be something else they could do than have them join the Military. This is an invitation to disaster. Most criminals are also drug-users, and mental deficients. It's not 80 years ago.
How about putting them on a chain gang. There is plenty of work to do, and who better to clean up the streets, than the crooks who made a mess of them.
