Representative Sue Shear, Missouri State Legislature

"I chair a House and Senate Joint Statutory Committee
on Correctional Institutions, and I have been a lone voice for many years looking for alternatives to imprisonment, because I know for sure that we spend millions of dollars building new prisons, and the crime goes on.
I see this as a wonderful alternative to imprisonment, and a way to reduce crime and all the problems that we have in our society."  wpe19.jpg (2124 bytes)click for audio
