Jesus.. if ugly bods spend more time in prison then I can only conclude you got away with it.. and well done

Some do, some don't.

They have to make choices like anyone else.

I know people from very disadvantaged backgrounds who have fought hard for a better life, and I know others who were fed with a silver spoon whose life are very empty and sad.

I firmly believe that from a very early age we all make choices.

Do we doss around at school, or do we work hard?

That applies to young people of every background, though having a supportive family behind you helps, but that is applicable to rich, poor, or anywhere in the middle too.

seems to me there is a lot to be said about research into the 'criminal ' gene

Same family, same background.

One plays the game, one breaks the rules and ends up inside.

Choices.

Well the softly, softly approach doesn't appear to be working terribly well.

Very true but there are also those who do it because of a warped sense of power and prestige it gives them in front of there peers. It makes them in their own eyes "hard men" of the streets.

Re: Minimum wage in Prison?!
 

Agreed, but that applies to people from all backgrounds.

Years ago people around here were relatively poor. The vast majority of them were honest and hatd working, being hard up wasn't seen as an excuse to turn to a life of crime.
