prison overcrowding

[andeeeee]

all the prisoners who are no good too society , get to give something back too society.
instead of new prisons build special hospitals which house these prisoners and they donate all organs , when theres f+ck all left to take out give them back to their family to dispose of.

The Chinese kill prisoners for organs !!!

More or less anyway

I'm sure someone will dispute it, but stats show that re-offending rates are higher for those given prison sentences than other punishments. Obviously you have to lock people up for serious crimes, but for the less serious offences you can't do it, if it's going to cause overcrowding in prison.

Not only are they more likely to re-offend if they are given a prison sentence (obviously not while they're in there, before someone says it, although someone willl suggest locking all criminals up and throwing away the key), but they're making the jobs of prison officers more difficult by causing the overcrowding.

its the only solution. rapists , peodos and murderers first , give druggies as much gear as they want to finish the job for them.

Whats the answer then Dave ?

I'd make them pay for their own stay.
They want to commit crime then they can pay for it even if it means docking benefits when they come out, they will soon think twice b4 comitting another crime.

It may not work in a lot of cases like lifers etc but i bet it curbs your average villain like joyriders etc.

As I said (I think), less prison sentences, more sentences of other kinds.

Yeah, not going to work that though, given that I'd guess a large amount of crime is committed by people with no money, and who don't claim benefits. Not certain that's true, but I'd guess it is.

thiefs and joy riders have a hand or foot lobbed off, that`ll make them think

One footed car thieves would just start stealing a shoe form outside of shops . so they would still be commiting criminal acts

[andeeeee]

in the centre of every town and village in england, after church on sunday we get the local low life put into stocks and the victim throws rotten fruit and veg at them.

Good point and whilst they were in there, i would have no Sky TV, no pool, no pc's, nothing on the walls in the cells, one blanket no central heating, 3 meals of bread and water a day nothing more whatsoever, forced labour smashing rocks, hard bastards seeing to them, no human rights (forfeited) slopping out each morning, at least 5 to a cell, they committed the crimes, let's see how many would like prison then. I have actually heard people say 6 months? i can do that on my head. Not with the above and go back for more.
