Today's post will be a short video that is circulating online speaking about mass incarceration in the United States. Sure, this is a broader issue than Norristown but I wanted to share this video to begin a local discussion. Are we encouraging our leaders to be tougher on crime than criminals? Are we preparing current inmates for their release so they do not end up back in jail?
I will stop there and allow you to watch the video.
So what are your thoughts? To improve the image of Norristown, we need to continue to work with the Norristown Police Department and local leaders to reduce crime in town. Crime has statistically gone down in town, however, we still have some issues to address to lower our per capita rate for crime.
