Talk:Mike Lawlor

Untitled
Efforts to put Lawlor's record on prison overcrowding in a digital "memory hole" are truly reprehensible.

It's happened again.(see 8/31 attempted whitewash edits) What Lawlor is allegedly doing now after the Petit murders does not erase the fact he advocated letting "nonviolent" criminals out of jail for years before the massacre...and argued AGAINST prison construction. Stop digging a memory hole for this guy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.84.60 (talk) 02:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Huck Finn would have been proud of the whitewash job some Democrat hack is trying to do on Lawlor's decade long quest to empty our prisons. The fact Lawlor claims to want new jails now does not offset a career opposed to building and leasing sufficient facilities to house felons —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.84.60 (talk) 03:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think anyone is disagreeing, but these pages should lay out the simple facts. Obviously people on both sides of the issues want to write things as how they see it. These pages should be straightforward and tell the whole story, no? There seems to be opinions melting into these pages from every angle. 72.209.33.251 —Preceding comment was added at 04:52, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

The problem is some posters would like to have Lawlor's 2007 rhetoric on prison issues displace discussion of his decade long record 180 degrees different from his current rhetoric. Just because you favor locking the barn door now does not mean you did not loudly advocate leaving it open in the first place, based on your opinion the horse would not cause trouble when he got out. The fact Lawlor had allies for his past mistakes is akin to my mom's "if everyone else jumped off the Empire State Building" lecture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.84.60 (talk) 10:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

There is a conspicuous lack of information about Lawyor's hand in getting three people killed with his early release program for punks. --24.177.0.156 (talk) 17:14, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

I am confused about the talk of prison overcrowding in Rell's time. That was not all that long ago and now all the newspapers now say we have so few convicted criminals that we had to close prisons. They both can't be true so which is it? Do we have overcrowding or so much space we have to close prisons? If something happened in this short amount of time resulting in all this prison space than what was it? I know the supposed emptiness of the prisons preceded Malloy's mass release of criminals that have led to three murders so far. On the mass releases Lawlor has defended Dan Malloy's policy ("Risk Reduction Credits") in his capacity of "Under Secretary for Criminal Justice Policy and Planning". I would write it myself but there is a lot of gaps in official information and the partisan newspapers are becoming so biased as to be totally unreliable sources for information.
