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.
Some of them are already learning skills in prison they can use on their release. Sewing, drug dealing, and buggery, spring to mind.
