Which country would want these murderous yobs?....and why should some other country take our scum?.......there would be a huge uproar if we were expected to accommodate the miscreants from some other country.
Blazey, that is one of the most senseless suggestions you have made to date.[/quote]
Margaret you disappoint me, i would've thought you of all people would recognise sarcasm.
I am a law student, my future pretty much depends on criminals, why would I want to ship them to somewhere else?
Whilst 57% of prisoners do reoffend, crime rate has fallen by 25% since 1997, and violent crime has fallen by 24%.
That at least shows nearly HALF are rehabilitated, and although it doesnt say how many violent criminals are rehabilitated I'm sure some must fall into that catagory.
43% is better than zero in my opinion, thats 43% who have served the time, got out and are not sucking up nearly £40000 a year in being kept inside.
I know it is fiction, but the film Green Mile is a good example of why we shouldn't use the death penalty. All the evidence was against that man, yet viewers got to see how the evidence was still wrong, and millions cried when that man got put in the chair. People in america are wrongly sentenced to capital punishment but they have nobody to cry for them because nobody can see the truth like a film viewer can. Yet no matter how many people are wrongly put to death, there is always someone somewhere who still thinks its a good idea. Well that kind of stupidity belongs in Texas in my opinion, with the red necks.
