TALLAHASSEE Judges would have to give three-time criminals and drug dealers the maximum sentence for their crimes under a bill approved by a Senate committee Tuesday.
``This bill sends a message that you've had your chance and now we're going to take you off the streets and put you behind bars,'' said Putnam County Sheriff Taylor Douglas, urging the Senate Criminal Justice Committee to approve the bill.The committee approved the bill (CS-SB 1746) 4-1 with Miami Democrat Kendrick Meek the only dissenter.Why increase penalties?
