Unfortunately, because of the cushy conditions in jails these days, many criminals do time "standing on their head"...in fact prison, along with ASBO's have virtually become status symbols now with many thugs and have ceased to be a deterrent. We should reintroduce the birch for knife crimes, and we should reintroduce hard labour for prison inmates. Anyone who chooses to carry a weapon which will inflict pain on another person, should have pain inflicted upon them. Likewise being in prison should be a bad experience so that anyone sent there would not want to ever go back.
Not abandoned the power of thought Barry, ...in fact I've given this a lot of thought recently.I assume one of the other purposes would be rehabilitation. What percentage of criminals who have received custodial sentences do you think have actually been rehabilitated and go back into society better people?...damn few I'd say.
Nail on the head Andy...
