| 1115088 | 2010-07-01 22:41:00 | Well in theory the country will save in other areas, police and Courts not having to process hardened repeat offenders, or at least so often. | Battleneter2 (9361) | ||
| 1115089 | 2010-07-01 22:44:00 | They should slash conditions for the prisoners, That would save billions. | Metla (12) | ||
| 1115090 | 2010-07-01 22:54:00 | Well in theory the country will save in other areas, police and Courts not having to process hardened repeat offenders, or at least so often. Even the Minister of Police (and Corrections) thinks that is only about fifty people, so the total saving there will be diddly squat as the prison muster by is hardly going up by that much due to any focus on hardened repeat offenders. And as there is no money left for rehabilitation according to the article, so the chances of reoffending will be higher not lower. The money to pay for all this (going by the California example) will be money diverted from places like Education and so the downward spiral gets reinforced. |

They will need to prune back on diet ie to minimum and basic foods no coffee and tea. Heating could be pegged back. Run prisons like in Singapore where they run at profit they have factories in prison and they do the laundry for hospitals. Also give employ less guards but arm them with short barrel 12 gauge semi auto shotguns loaded with zero zero shot. Any riots would be dealt usa style. If certain people in our population just like the usa do most of the offending all we can do is lock them up. |

| 1115094 | 2010-07-01 23:26:00 | Yes cut back, No tv, no dvs's, no heating - bring you own blankets, basic food. One Mary Poppins movie a week. Free books, enourage people to go in a teach them to read and write. Put tv shows on of life in prison, to put others off doing crimes. Each year put sentences up by one year, until people learn to stop committing crime. I don't mind how much it costs to keep those crims off our streets and out of my house. |

| 1115096 | 2010-07-02 00:30:00 | An empty paddock surrounded by a mine field. Fill empty paddock with scum. I'd prefer that but Digby's suggestion would be the only thing closest to being implemented. |
