Theres scumbags everywhere,the problem is, if they do get caught and actually do get locked up, what happens? They get free board and lodging, tv's, air con, gym etc.
A guy I know got locked up for a different type of matter, regardless he's a crim, does 3 years, comes out with white card,traffic control tickets,first aid cert,bobcat license and had done various building courses, all done at the expense of the tax payer and all things that a normal citizen has to pay for and all because he got busted. Where's the deterrent ? I do understand the idea of the courses, in that there designed to stop re-offense, but do they work?
Build a "real prison" where they have no electricty, sleep on the floor and the only items they posses are,a cup,toothbrush,toothpast, soap,the clothes they wear and 2 buckets,1 bucket to bath from and 1 for a toilet wich they can empty into a bio digester. The gas from the digester they can use to cook with and the compost used to fertilize the gardens that they grow the majority if not all of there food they consume.The only water available would come from a couple of pieces of 2 inch long pipe sticking out of a wall. how many would reoffend?
Couple of these prisons placed around the country and they can supply each other with different foods at different times of the year. Have zero tolerance for the crap they may go on with and the standard punishment for that crap would be floggings. Well that's enough no doubt you get the idea. I realise not every crime commited deserves something along these lines but some definetly do,reoffenders go in there too and that's my rant for today. :|
Will be interesting to see others thoughts on the subject.
