IS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2013 - COMMON PLEAS JUDGE JONATHAN HEIN
If prison isn’t needed, keep it local
By Bob Robinson
GREENVILLE – “It isn’t a judicial philosophy change,” said Common Pleas
Judge Jonathan Hein. “It’s the legislature writing different rules.”
Overcrowded prisons is a big issue across the country, Hein added. A
lot of money and resources go into the criminal justice system. In
effect, what the state is saying is, “Don’t send people to prison who
don’t need to be here. Use local resources.” For example, the state

MUSINGS OF A SENIOR SCRIBE
Lost Arts
