    Fine sentiments Bern, but where do we draw the line. As I posted elsewhere, over 30% of murderers released back into the community, kill again. So this begs a question particularly relating to serious offenders:

    Do we want to rehabilitate offenders at the risk of more victims, or should a life sentence be exactly that for killers?

    I don't have a problem giving folks a second chance, but there is a world of difference between a Jeffrey Archer and an Ian Brady type which must be considered.

    I also don't have a problem with prison being a tough, but humane, environment. Being sent to prison is a punishment, that doesn't mean the punishment should stop once the sentence is delivered. Rehabilitate and give gainful work to the inmates by all means, in fact I'd welcome the introduction of chain gangs, but don't ever forget the crimes committed or the victims of those crimes.
