Promoting drug addiction in prison the way we do is bad. <br /><br />Letting prisoners work if they so choose for early release not mandatory early release would be in everyone's best interest. It would give them something to do and offset the costs of their incarceration. Taking that to the extreme and keep people in prison so corporations have have cheap slave labour like in the US is wrong.Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-52624644434542975842018-07-07T23:07:32.797-07:002018-07-07T23:07:32.797-07:00perhaps you'd like to bring back chain gangs w...perhaps you'd like to bring back chain gangs while you're at it. Welfare recipients are on welfare because they can't work, usually or have small children. Picking up garbage is so yesterday and out of touch. So you'd like the mentally ill and parents of babies and toddlers to pick up garbage would you. it be great you know to reduce their numbers because many would get killed in traffic. Have you had a look at the regulations for workers who do that type of work? thought not. Inmates outside of jail, nice touch. so all those people who have committed serious crimes need to be out side picking up garbage. Do you know how much it would cost to guard them? thought not/e.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-16265067059051495452018-07-07T13:59:14.257-07:002018-07-07T13:59:14.257-07:00Nice article.

The more people of colour in jail the fewer voters. <br /><br />both China and the U.S.A. violate human rights on a constant basis. The big difference is the U.S.A. denies it and calls themselves the land of the free and home of the brave, which they're not, well perhaps if you're white and rich......e.a.f.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06244666617774794918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-7477545820171284222018-07-07T11:41:52.398-07:002018-07-07T11:41:52.398-07:00Our system is a joke to, now the harm reductionist...Our system is a joke to, now the harm reductionists have pushed their agenda and they're allowing needle exchanges in jail An hiv infected needle is a formidable weapon.
