State of Vermont secondary Archives: on Crime


Keith Stern: Convicts should serve in same state where sentenced

Each state is its own COUNTRY, to be sent to another country to serve one's sentence would be Unconstitutional. It is not Constitutional for one to be sentenced BY THEIR PEERS in one Sovereign State and then have the sentence carried out in another Sovereign State where there are NO PEERS. Then why is it acceptable for a person to be sentenced in Vermont and incarcerated in Pennsylvania or any other State? Each State is exactly the same as a Country and the words are interchangeable.
