Justice Department program to no longer use ‘disparaging’ terms ‘felons’ and ‘convicts’

you better get on your knees and start praying

this thing ain't near over with.

n 2013 Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter signed an executive order that required city employees to use the term “returning citizen” when referring to a person who has been released from jail or prison.

The propaganda agenda comes right from the top.
Trump is not going to promote tolerate any of this crap.
Count on it.

Neither will the rest of us.

Very good, this is a step in the right direction.

I'm sorry to intrude but you don't seem to understand the meaning of "forgiveness". It's unconditional. As a "Christian", you should practice it. ESPECIALLY when you feel less tolerant.
I speak from experience. I am a convicted felon. 25 yrs ago, I stole a reliant K at a party and drove to Daytona Beach. They gave me probation, I violated it by moving without permission. They gave me house arrest, I violated that too. I was pretty determined to not give a shit at 21 yrs of age. Served 6 ms in state prison. Anyhoo... I grew into a completely different person after that. learned my lesson, worked, paid taxes..etc.
Never committed another crime in my life outside of a speeding ticket and a red light ticket.
People do not forgive me. Nobody gives a shit that I was a kid. They see I have a record and they distance themselves from me. I've even had people I was dating do a background check and discounted me for that reason.
I certainly don't want to see younger people penalized their entire lives for making one or two bad choices. If someone can prove they are fit for society for a number of yrs, they should be forgiven. Nobody should be allowed to exclude them.

I agree can happen to anybody

I use to say shameful things about people that broke the law, but then I realized it was actually me who should be shamed. Shamed for not being inclusive of those who are society challenged.

Hold on, you people in this thread actually think not verbally degrading a person every day of their life on top of everything else is a healthy experience?, sure health may not be one of the most talked about issues in prison but if you want to successfully reintegrate somebody(rather than give up hope0 you need to keep your inmates healthy and educated.

Learn about the Stanford prison project, repetitive action and thoughts leeds to lifestyle and behavioural changes.

The Emperor has no clothes.



Terms like male and female, father and mother are next..

It says the antichrist will change language. He sure is with all his political correctness bullshit.

PULLMAN – Three Washington State University instructors are being accused of violating students’ First Amendment rights by banning terms like “illegal alien,” “male” and “female” in the classroom.

...
ritics took issue with Selena Lester Breikss’ policy attempting to bar students from using terms such as “The Man,” “colored people,” “illegals,” “illegal aliens” and “tranny.” Breikss, who teaches the 300-level course Women and Popular Culture, also tried banning the use of “male” and “female” to describe men and women, according to the syllabus on her course website.

new game
guess the political affiliation

They're starting to realize that there's more people getting convictions than are that aren't lol, this is gonna be fun in the next couple of years to watch the confusion unfold.

Why are people so sookie about language?
When the hell did people get so soft inside?
I thought it was the hard consequences of crime that made most people think twice about doing anything illegal.

All I can see is this softening of the language also softening the reasoning of committing crime to begin with.

It's all fun and games until the people watching and convicting the prisoners are criminals themselves now isn't it?

That's why this is going to be fun to watch play out.

So what are they now, the "legally challenged?"

from the article

The Office of Justice Programs plans to substitute terminology such as “person who committed a crime” and “individual who was incarcerated” in speeches and other communications

UK police understandably had many different and colourful terms and slang names for people of the criminal fraternity. About 10 years ago these became unacceptable as the police were forced into political correctness.

So this is what a Negro's sense of "justice" is. No wonder why Africa is Africa.
