| 585298 | 2007-08-28 08:34:00 | Sheriff Arpaio's brutalisation of prisoners in his care doesn't reduce reoffending. It does buy him votes, however - at the cost of sending people with a large resentment back into the community after their ill-treatment in custody. Garth McVicar's approach to criminal justice is shallow and one-dimensional. We have an extremely high imprisonment rate in NZ and it is having no effect on rates of offending - which have been stable for many years. The loss of liberty is the punishment while in prison and people who promote the ill-treatment of inmates forget one key fact - EVERY prisoner in NZ has a release date - chances are, one of them will move in next door to your mother. (Even those serving preventive detention have the prospect of release.) The only thing that will teach prison inmates to live well in society is to teach them to live well in prison. |

Underfloor heating, TVs, and 3 tasty meals a day certainly isn't any better at stopping people from reoffending. |

| 585303 | 2007-08-28 11:07:00 | Use South Island as a large prison camp, a stint down there would scare the living **** of them and they wont reoffend. Just imagine the pain inflicted on the inmates with boredom topped off by the cold. tedheath |
