Question: Poll : Prison have we got it wrong!? what is your view on how a prison should be!?
In my opinion

Here in the Uk offenders effectivley get free food and lodgings with tv's game consoles, books and even get wages!. (this is going off what i have heard and seen in the media obviously wont be the case for all) They get to study and retrain doing courses that the rest of us have to pay for!. For me prison shouldnt be a holiday it should be a punishment i dont want to be paying for these people to have a better lifestyle than my kids granted my kids have the freedom!. I think if prisons were more like in the old days or even america and the like people would think twice about offending!. As for the free ride i think fair enough give them the courses but atleast make them earn them!.!. not by paying them a wage any wage they get should be spent on paying there way, Get them fixing the roads and such get them to do actual hard work instead of making us pay firstly for there keep then for the road repairs!. non of this tv in the cells and games consoles they gave up that right when they went in!. The way our prisons are is not going to work as a deterant when they have a better life in there!.!. they dont even have to drag themselves off to work in the mornings!.

I didn't realize the UK was so lax regarding its penal system!.

I agree with your sentiments, and depending on the level of crimes certain criteria should be implemented determining whom is allowed to do certain things!.

Regarding income, yes, prisoners should work, fixing roads, digging ditches, growing gardens, shoveling snow, and various other types of labor for the area they are housed!. Any income they receive would be from these efforts not from any tax payer sources; I am having trouble hearing that one!.

My personal peeve is when a condemned man on death row is granted a "last meal"!. He is allowed to choose what he can eat and drink for his last meal!. Bull sh!.it!. He should be given what every prisoner eats!. Did his victim(s) have the luxury of deciding what was going to be their last meal!?

I think some type of education or being trained for a skill aren't bad ideas!. Many criminals lack an education or skills and is partly why they end up in prison; not all but most!. Still, this should be allowed only for certain inmates!. Child molesters and murderers shouldn't be allowed such luxury!.

The thought of prison scares the crap out of me and is a good deterrent against crime, at least for me personally! I think prison is hit and miss as a concept but it's a system that we have to use to protect the innocent population and also to re-habilitate those who've landed themselves in prison!. No easy answer, but allowing inmates certain things like TV and video game consoles; no way!. Working families and people can barely afford them why should criminals be provided these toys!?

Prison is the same in America!. Prison should be work with no TV and only crappy food!. No form of entertainment!. No Magazines!. No nothing in your cell!. They should all be in cells alone!.

and all murders and child rapist should be put down like a horse with a broken leg!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think it should be run like the military (which, believe me was no holiday, especially in Basic Training!)!. They should break the prisoners down and then build them back up the way they want them, just like they do in the military!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
