But yes it can - RESPECT as you very very rightly say can be the cornerstone of this new system. The 'Respect agenda' in schools and local communities has gone some way to start and achieve this.
I agree offenders should be taught to respect- respect others, respect communities, respect property, authority, the law and themselves- what I am saying is that throwing them in a cell isn't doing this- despite the luxurious picture Wyn paints of prison life.
So lets have prisons of course- lets lock people who are a threat up but for christ's sake lets then make sure that we dont have ten times the problem coming out at the other end.
