[Margaret Pilkington]

Removing a persons freedom doesn't work if that is all that is done.
Maybe a person is incarcerated, but their life is frequently better in prison....they have no responsibility to look after financial things, their meals are provided, they have a roof over their head, they have health, education and recreational facilities, they can socialise.
Where is the deprivation in that...Apart from being removed from their family.
Many old age pensioners would like to be looked after in such a way.....but they aren't.
Prison doesn't work because it isn't a hard life anymore.
