It would be interesting if someone could find the recidivism rates for the different countries in the EU 'tough jails' in Greece , Bulgaria ,Romania etc. compared with the 'soft' UK , Also the recidivism rates in the UK compared with other countries worldwide , I'm sure the EU Headquarters have these numbers since these are national statistics ,and maybe the UN/Amnesty have figures for other countries .
Would take a bit of digging but I'm sure at least one of the politcians who use this site have access to the numbers , (whos the local MEP and is he/she an Accy web user ?) maybe he could get someone to check the facts and tell us if the countries with softer jails produce more repeat offenders than the countries with harsher regimes .
