But it's only made for one?

Surely two to four people could be crammed neatly into a single container.

Hell no, far more than that. Shipping containers are getting on for the size of a cattle truck. Around 80 people, adults, or 100 children used to be packed into cattle trucks during WWII.

Allowing for present day obesity, a shipping container would easily take 20 prisoners on a one way trip.

They got rid of most of the cannabis (which I agree with), single inmate cells are on the way out and some want to get rid of the televisions as well .

The current implementation of Sensible Sentencing Trust policies will lead to an increase in serious crime, treat people inhumanely and they'll act inhumanely . They're also costing us a lot of money to be locked up, money that would be better spent on rehabilitation .

If punishment doesn't discourage their chosen lifestyle then talking to them ain't going to do a damn thing. And if punishment causes them to re-offend then back they go to jail. If they never twig onto the concept of behaving then so be it, their choice to live in jail.

We should be adopting a 3 strike law.

I agree the three strike rule should apply as well at the third crime execution should become compulsory (where's the hangman smilie?)

Prison control is important - the only way a handful of guards can control a large population of prisoners is through the cooperation of the prisoners . If the prisoners stop cooperating then you have problems .

784239 2009-06-22 22:14:00 I wonder if the shipping container idea could be used for rest homes for the elderly? They would be insulated, have windows and toilets. I don't see what would be wrong with that.

In fact, they're just finishing a brand new police station in Beckenham here in Chch. Hate to think what that cost them. Don't know why they didn't stack shipping containers together as they would be ideal as offices.
