[lbo-talk] MaxSpeak, You Listen!: CORY SI, TOOKIE NO

[Rotating Bitch]

Back in the mid-80s, there was talk of some research that indicated that 6 
months in jail was all you needed. It was enough to scare the willickers 
out of offenders but not too much that they became acclimated to prison 
conditions.

Anyone ever hear of it and whether it's a decent study?

Glad to see you back John!
