the catch and release policy

the new
policy is to catch and release
the criminals.
the prisons
are overcrowded.
there's
no more room
in cell block H.
there's not enough therapists
and social
workers to help
them onto the narrow path.
crime has become an easy
endeavor
to make a buck.
steal, rob, assault,
shoot em up.
you're never
locked away.
at least not for long.
a slap on the wrist
and out you go, with a 
warning to please, please,
we love you,
now try to obey.
