Re: Riot at cat C jail

If they burn it down then they must live under canvas until they have rebuilt it again.
My views of prison and punishment is that prison is for punishment...not to enable the inmate to get a degree......it is to take him/her out of the society that they have committed crimes against.......it is to protect the public, and to deter other criminals from committing offences.......and from what I can see, our system clearly doesn't work,and is hideously expensive into the bargain(no pun intended).
