in the uk, prisons are overcrowded, so what do they do, they let people out early - you can murder someone and be free in four years! you can rape someone and be out in less, then be handed a council house in the same area as your victim, at the taxpayers expense!

prison is meant to be a deterrent, as is the death penalty, if it was up to me it would be tomorrow.

prison is meant to be a punishment, not in the uk though! if it was up to me it would be tomorrow.

violent crime against people and property should be severely punished, and the death penalty should go with it for serious, or constantly repeated crime.

i would rather build prisons up and down the country and sleep safe at night. i would rather see murderers and rapists hanged, or electrocuted, or shot, than have them pampered inside a cushy prison with all the amenities of the day at the tax-payers expense, then given all the costly (and useless) rehabilitation that they get, especially when some hospitals cannot afford the medicine to treat cancer patients.

these people are scum, and should be treated as such!
