Justice Department program to no longer use ‘disparaging’ terms ‘felons’ and ‘convicts’

By Andrea Noble - The Washington Times - Wednesday, May 4, 2016
The Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs is eschewing the terms “felon” and “convict” when officials refer to individuals convicted of crimes, opting instead for less “disparaging labels,” Assistant Attorney General Karol Mason announced Wednesday.

The Office of Justice Programs plans to substitute terminology such as “person who committed a crime” and “individual who was incarcerated” in speeches and other communications as part of an effort to remove barriers that officials say hinder progress of those who re-enter society after completing their prison sentences.

Personally, I like to call them criminals since that's what they are.

We slip a little further down the drain every day.

Something like that. Anyway they were saying we could no longer call them inmates etc. I still refer to them as shit bags, SHUPOS (Sub HUman Piece Of Shit) etc

In my AO, they were referred to as "residents."

In the not-so-far distant future -- I suspect people will begin to voluntarily become "residents" for the free cable, education, meals, housing, etc.

Sounds like a plan for success since we can't call or treat them for what they are! After all, their rights count too!

When O goes and he will be gone someday. How do we purge all these government agencies that are teeming with his adoring minions? And that includes the military ranks.
