dose prison work ???

[NorthernRaider]

Whether prison works or not is irrelivant I believe, It is supposed to be two things, (1) Punishment for crimes commited , but the problem is no prisoner ever serves a full sentence AND all to often the judges and Magistrates rarely apply the longest sentence, I believe all criminal convicted of a third offence should get an automatic life sentence, Motorists who get done for a third time should be banned for life. Theft is theft shoplifting is still theft shoplifter should get the same custodial sentences as burglars and the penalty for burglary should be 15 years.
(2) Prison also serves to reassure society be REMOVING criminals from society, that is often overlooked and its probably why prison is seen as to not work, It can work very well if the sentences were long enough and fully enforced.

Oh yea it only costs £30K PA because we pamper criminals, I would have them all living in tents on remote Scotish islands eating only basic foods and with no liesure equipment. Criminals should live in absolute terror of being locked up, but many see it as a holiday.
