During radio interviews this week, Maine's Governor LePage suggested his push for commutations was not a sudden shift in his views on the criminal justice system. Instead, he said, he is trying to solve the aging state’s mounting labor problem. The released offenders will be required to find jobs or job training.
from the NYTimes
In Maine there are no working men,
And so they must empty the pen
For clerks and busboys
Who may lack much poise --
But look good in stripes now and then.
