What you said is reasonable. But note that I didn't say Nepal's penal system is flawless or that it doesn't suffer from the influence of politicians;sure prime minister and home minister pardon their man and you can buy off judges and that I am disgusted by it.(for the record, both Bill Clinton and George Bush pardoned their cronies and donors at the last minute,as you know. And Illinois governor was trying to sell senator seat. He got caught, but every Chicagoian knows that the state and city is full of shitty politicians.).

I defended two things about our penal system: one is its relatively shorter incarceration period, its belief that jail systems are there to reform people. I hope some people do comparative study on recidivism of these people and see if our system has worked. I really would love to know whether people released late in their life commit crime again and again in Nepal?
