“It is not just about being fiscally responsible, but also about redeeming lives through faith-based programs, keeping families together and turning more ex-offenders into productive, taxpaying citizens.

-Former Oklahoma Congressman J.C. Watts, writing in support of a “Right On Crime” initiative to create more alternatives to incarceration for non-violent offenders in Oklahoma (Source: http://bit.ly/1qeWWf0)
