Prison doesn't work. With the best will in the world it just doesn't. So what do we do. We have this liberal approach where its no real deterrent. 8yrs but only do 4. Fact most cons reoffend and as prison is no deterrent the amount of offenders actually increases plus you have this revolving door thing going on at the prison gates. I was in Dubai in October. A Liverpool drug dealer was sentenced to 25yrs. And he will do 25yrs which starts from the date of his sentence. Now that more like it! That's the kind of thing we need, that is a deterrant. Personally I would also bring back the death penalty because we now have repeat murderers people who have already taken a life and served a sentence. Save the cash and a life!
