Jim Pillen on Crime

 

 


Meet programming needs of inmates to reduce recidivism

I am recommending finalizing the last phase of funding to replace the Nebraska State Penitentiary, which this body has approved. The facility was designed more than a century ago.

It can't meet the programming needs of our inmates to reduce recidivism and get people back to work after they pay their dues to society for their transgressions. A new facility, with additional space for programming, will help more people to become productive, law-abiding citizens.

Calls to defund the police are reckless and dangerous

I will stand with law enforcement and safeguard our communities. Calls to defund the police are reckless and dangerous. Police officers, Sheriffs, the State Patrol, firefighters, and first responders put their lives on the line for us everyday and they deserve our respect and support.

Enhance criminal penalties for looting, resisting arrest

In 2020, "Black Lives Matter" protesters looted and rioted in major cities nationwide, as well as here in Nebraska. My administration will show no hesitation in working with local law enforcement to crack down if protests become destructive and violent. I'll ask the Legislature to enhance criminal penalties for looting, resisting arrest, disobeying lawful orders to disperse, assaulting first responders, and destroying public property.
