Hard labour camps could quickly escalade into concentration camps, hence why they are avoided.

If there wasn't as many people wanting revenge rather than justice then perhaps we would see hard labour camps still being used, but presently I think they would only cause problems.

Re: Teenagers jailed
 

Well, I am wondering why people are saying prison is pointless but still wanting their money spent on keeping people in prison for life.

I'd find it more understandable if people where saying just hang them or whatever, quick, cheap and saves a lot of wasted time, but I dont quite understand why people want people in prison for life when it costs so much money.

Re: Teenagers jailed
 

please list those besides you that think prison is pointless, cos it beats the crap out of me.

Re: Teenagers jailed
 

I dont think its pointless, its job is to punish and rehabilitate criminals so they can come back to society. There's no point to it if people just want to lock people up forever just so they dont have to deal with them. There are much cheaper ways of removing people from society than that, which is all locking people up for their entire lives does...

Re: Teenagers jailed
 

ok we established that, then WHO are these people? that say prison is pointless.

Re: Teenagers jailed
 

If prison isn't rehabilitating people to the point that people want criminals to spend their entire lives in their, technically those people are saying it's pointless.

As far as I am aware the governments main aims surrounding prisons isn't just to punish people, its to deter people, to rehabilitate. If its not doing those things then there is no point to it. The costs aren't worth the result.

I personally think it DOES rehabilitate people, hence why i'm saying don't lock people up for their entire lives.

I dont think I'm getting anywhere with this :rolleyes:

[Would be cheaper to get them visa's to live abroad and pay for their one way ticket. Surprised nobody has suggested that yet instead.[/quote]

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.

Re: Teenagers jailed
 

And if prison really does rehabilitate people, why do so many end up back there?

Re: Teenagers jailed
 

Have you got some information we can share why you think that way ?

Re: Teenagers jailed
 

I would hasten to add that I did not post about criminals being given visas and one way tickets to another country - that was Blazey's idea.......the rest of the post is mine, I also take responsibility for suggesting that this was one of the most senseless ideas to date......
