Madison360: Madison’s worst criminals will get a special invitation
"As the seat of state government, site of a Big Ten university and home to a citizenry hot for the next debate, Madison has always been a mecca for meetings.
But it's never seen one quite like this.
At this meeting, the city's worst five to 10 criminals — each a chronic repeat violent offender — will be forced to show up in one room at one time to be told that, for them, the revolving door of "crime-conviction-release-repeat" is closed for good.
The tentative site is the United Way headquarters in November. On hand will be a small army of law enforcement, criminal justice and social service types. The families of the criminals "notified" (that's the verb police use) will be encouraged to attend with them.
What will they hear?
You are henceforth under a microscope from which you cannot escape. You must stop breaking laws now, with or without the personalized job counseling and other social program help we are here to offer. If you commit another serious crime, we will single you out and punish you with the focused and concerted might of the entire criminal justice system. You have become our top priority."
