Regarding prisons, I do know that the cost of incarcerating each prisoner is more than I earn in two years, possibly three, and that doesn't really make economic sense to me. The standard of living is also fairly high for something which many would hope to be both punishment and deterrent and the first problem I would address is the seemingly easy availability of drugs on the inside.

Fortunately, I am not well-acquainted with the inside of Her Majesty's prisons but decrying the level of punishment on the basis of breaching human rights rather negates the whole idea of being punished!
Thats what I like about you Ken, when state your own views on things like this you couldn't get a rizla between thee and me
