In my uneducated mind, prisons are nothing of the sort, they are hostels with bars. Many of those released re-offend to go back to 3 square meals, a warm place to sleep and watch tv/dvd.
My three step plan.
1. Legalize all drugs/substances and have the state pay for it also making human rights illegal whilst at 'Her Majesty's pleasure'
2. Turn prisons into 15 foot high concrete walled enclosures.
3. Make the 23 hour a day cells into concrete wet rooms. The cold sprinkler system comes on every hour on the hour so the prisoner can keep track of the time. 2 bread rolls a day, no water required as its supplied over head. No showers as already supplied <<see previous. A hole on the floor for faeces. No books or newspapers (they would get wet anyway) No calls, no visitors. Just you, your shower and your itchy wet blanket. 1 month to serve for each year you were originally sentenced and the chances of anyone reoffending (by maybe 90%) or they commit suicide rather than go back to the shower. They can take all the smack they want outside without having to rob/steal/burgle/stab for it. It's pure, and costs the government 5p a bag rather than £10 to the criminals, and £80 from the victims losses. Even insurance companies have agreed to foot the bill in previous poll. Drugs ARE the cancer that is F'ing up society for everyone. Sorry if anyone will miss that £5 w@nk in their car on the way home, but these poor girls won't have to do this for crack anymore.
I am sure no one will agree to any of this and I understand when I run this country, I will be lucky to live for at least two weeks before being assassinated.
You're welcome. Cheers. (I'll drink to that).
