Inmates that have been convicted of stealing will have to recompense their victims threefold, once that is done all records will be expunged if it is a first time conviction. If it is a second conviction but is non-violent put into a medium security prison where they will have to work off their sentence up to 5 fold.
4. Execute 1st Degree Murder with DNA evidence:
Anyone convicted of 1stDegree Murder with DNA evidence deliberated on by a jury of your peers will be executed within 2 weeks of conviction including child rapists. Child Molesters will get life in prison without parole (molesters that have not committed rape).

9. Stop Corporations from Buying Influence:
All monies from Corporations given to a political person for reasons of influence to be illegal, as well as using your own wealth to run for office or support those in office, only money gathered from the public can be used to promote someone politically and that amount to be capped individually so that the wealthy cannot buy a candidate.
