Logical Reasoning

MCQ - 176-8128

The city council is considering the so called “hotel room prison” law, which permits some people convicted of nonviolent crimes to serve their sentences on weekends in small suburban jails that often have many cells unused. The prisoners must pay up to $125 per day for the cells and their food. These fees go to support law enforcement throughout the city.

Question:

All of the following arguments are likely to be used in support of this law EXCEPT

  1. All people who are convicted of nonviolent crimes should be given a choice of when and where they serve their sentences
  2. Many jails and prisons are overcrowded already
  3. Parents serving sentences on weekends are able to work to support their families during the week
  4. Many jails and prisons are overcrowded already
  5. The profits from this program will help to reduce crime throughout the city

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The first choice argues that all nonviolent criminals be offered this choice, but the law speaks only of some. Presumably, there are many crimes, even nonviolent ones, that should not be punished so leniently.
