Anyone remember the movie Running Man? Why not put an explosive in the monitor. If they try to cut it off, it blows their foot off! Better yet, let's make it a necklace! :)

The problam that are going about housing this scum all wrong, they need to look at sheriff Joe, now he hasn't got this high cost and when someone leaves his tent city jail normally they do not return! These other jails and prisons are better than the Hilton for these dirtbags!

There used to be a reasonable cost involved in housing a prisoner. With the human turd bags like the ACLU and the inflated cost of housing an inmate these days we simply don't have enough tax dollars to house the large percentage of scum bags out there today. I say defense attorneys should be taxed on 20% of their income for getting a defendant off. that would fund the system and keep lawyer pigs from getting people off the hook as much.

Put all you people are forgetting one thing, these little angle never did anything wrong, just ask their mommy and daddy in the prison system and they will tell you how they go to church and help little old ladies across the street, they just leave out the part where they rob them, beat them, rape them and kill them but they are good children and shouldn't have to live like this!

Since it seems a tent city in the desert is out of the possiblities in this whimp county, how about a micro chip in what brain these scumbags have left? A added bonus would be a nice little charge in the chip that will light them up if they leave their homes! But we all know that would be against these dirtbags civil rights, SO!

How about changing the type of strap that is used on these monitors. Instead of a material that is easily cut, make them out of a heavy metal and cover that with a plastic so as not to 'hurt' the person wearing it. Wearing one is not supposed to be comfortable it's meant to monitor their location. Better yet, it's about time we look at GPS mico chips that can be placed in their bodies. If our cell phones and auto's can have GPS technology it's obvious to me that its ready for human use.

Charris cut off 15 monitors? At what cost to the tax payer for each monitor? After the first time anyone cuts off a monitor they should serve the remainer of their sentence behind bars not rewarded by being turned loose early again.
