Sounds like he wants ro bring the fucked ideas of minimum sentences and three strike laws up from the states.
Minimum sentences are a quagmire.
Three strike laws are a violation of human rights.

More dumb on crime conservatism coming our way.
Meanwhile Pierre will ignore the root causes of crime.

Alternative proposal …
Politicians who repeatedly lie should lose their seat and not be allowed to run in any further elections.

If someone is stealing their third car there may be some societal issues that need addressing. Prison won’t fix those.

Yea because being tough on crime works when you ignore the reasons people commit crimes.
That said, just yeet the car theives into the sun.
