Glad to hear that they are miserable places to be. Thankyou, you have brightened my day a bit.

Mate I don't give a rats arse if the crims living conditions are less than ideal Because those inside didn't give a rats arse about the peoples lives that were affected due to their crimes.
They are there as punishment for their crimes and their enjoyment is of very little interest to me personally.
Boo Hoo they have to share a microwave to heat their snacks, Stiff Bikkies .
and there lies the mistake. where is the rehabilitation? they dont magically integrate back into society knowing how to be a good citizen.Quote:

Rehabilitation = not committing crime
Locked Up = not committing crime
Good on you Trout. That's the type of approach we need to our fellow human beings. As I thought...never been on the other side of the fence. I don't think any thinking person who knows me would call me a bleeding heart but just go on ignoring what people with actual experience have to offer. I was giving you the G rated version.
Anyone sparing any thought for victims of crime? Or is that not politically correct??
Again have you dealt with victims of crimes? I have interviewed dozens of people who were horifically sexually abused as children including those now in prison because they were abused as little kids (often no parents to look after them), lost all trust in adults and hit the streets getting involved in drugs and crime. Really just keep the one liners for the Today Tonight type programs.
It may surprise you but not every victim of crime wants their aggressor to die in abject misery in prison.Quote:
