That I believe is just a mark of arrogance, perhaps delusion. Oh sorry oh enlightened one - a minefield as a prison idea is not based on ignorance after all, you mean you researched that? |

| 1115109 | 2010-07-02 02:24:00 | Strange as it may seem lots of people don't want to go to prison so therefore do their best to stay out of same. If you can't do the time don't do the crime. Prisons have a place and no one would argue against that, but we have one of the highest imprisonment rates in the western world and yet one of the safest countries, so what are we locking so many people up for? |

| 1115110 | 2010-07-02 02:45:00 | We are generally safe because we keep a lot of people locked up. If you dont commit a crime you dont do the time, quite a simple concept isnt it 12v? Look at the people who do the crimes notice any similarity with usa? Then we will have around the same incarceration rate as the usa its really not rocket science. Most of the people are locked up for violence offences and thats where the offenders need to be to cool off. Wont be a picnic for them soon with no baccy christ I almost feel sorry for them noting the effect running out of baccy at a mining camp in Aussie when I worked there. |

I have enough life experience to know I don't give a damn about the welfare of criminal filth. And having seen inside a prison or two I strongly disagree with the obscene amount of money spent on them, I don't give a damn if they are bored or have a chip on their shoulder, or might get angry about where they put themselves,In order for them to get there they had to ruin many many peoples lives. |

Well at least we agree about that the money spent on them is excessive. |

Did I read somewhere that Portugal (?) just provides the prison guards and the cell and the family of the prisoner have to provide all the necessities of life for the prisoner?? Seems that would put pressure on the criminals to stop offending.... And substantially lowers the $$ the poor old taxpayer has to provide for the upkeep of the scum who insist on being anti-social. |

Wont be a picnic for them soon with no baccy christ I almost feel sorry for them noting the effect running out of baccy at a mining camp in Aussie when I worked there. Dishonesty related offences seem to be the majority of prison inmates as far as I can see from the Corrections web site, plus a large number of driving related offences. The first three strike case was actually in for groping. Assaults seem to be on the rise for prison numbers, possibly the effects of the "sensible sentencing" that has been going on rather than an increase in violent crime. Heard a cop on the radio before, reckon fifty percent of the population would never offend, forty percent would in certain circumstances, and ten percent are criminally inclined. I reckon if you made that 80/15/5 you'd be closer to it. I've got no issues with people going to prison, but before you release them you should at least have tried to sort them out. I suspect if we ever had a Press F1 Task Force on crime, you'd find we actually agree on more than we disagree, it just doesn't seem that way always. |
