I used to put people into prison for a living Mr Scouser, I am well aware of re-offending, social issues around offending and intergenerational criminality, as well as having some legal training, and a whole lot of other life experience that I am not sure that you have...
Now how long is yours?
Your response seems rather irrational, given that my position is that we cannot simply rely on what you are proposing. It doesn't actually reduce crime as the good ole USA shows us.
The interesting thing to me is Dougie and Kotuku don't seem to have a problem with my position, but you do? Given that we all have some experience in these areas and you don't?
In so far as taxing us into the ground, that will happen if we have to continue building prisons... if you are interested in not being taxed into the ground you may have to consider the other options.
Not much is a short term solution, but that is all you got..... and somehow you resent the idea of thinking more widely that that?
