Do they spend every moment of work trying to mould prisoners into perfect upstanding members of society? Even if they erred on the way? Have wardens suggested financial penalties upon themselves if prisoners feel dissatisfied with prison life? Do lawyers and judges complete a rapid decision making process with the intention of speeding an offender thru incarceration and on to a utopian freedom? Do police purposely take time to research sociologigal effects of any possible offensive behaviour and forwarn any person who may fit an offenders profile to avoid acting in offensive manner + and critically 'why' they should act so.<br /><br />Any one heard of planned obsolescence?<br /><br />Do law makers enjoy governing? Do they make laws that will necessarily lead to more laws? Punish in a way that will lead to more punishment? <br /><br />Surely government wants the most evil, dangerous, threatening society possible(!) That means they'll have the most reason to govern?<br /><br />Cost/benefit trade off?Philippe Omerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354197274667765533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-74551939105583214912011-02-12T19:24:49.858+00:002011-02-12T19:24:49.858+00:00Every penny of our 3.28 million has been wasted.

With that sort of money don't you think it would make a difference if it was ploughed into rehabilition and reform?

More compensation is derived from assualts by staff than from assaults by other prisoners because the latter will lead to compensation only when the prison service have committed some breach of duty.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488606547700008840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-54434152704512356282011-02-11T20:45:05.973+00:002011-02-11T20:45:05.973+00:00Fascinating.
