Bring in "tent city"

Just put cameras everywhere and televise it. It can have a dedicated channel even....

When there's shit on t.v, which is all the time you can flick over and see what N.Zs finest are up to. Every cell, every room a camera.

Maybe they returned because they liked the bum sex.

Fair enough, sorry for the rant, I've read of the guy before, and he really is a corrupt weasel who seems to have pretty much the opposite opinion of most justice systems, and believe it better that 99 innocent men are jailed or executed than one guilty man go free, and that those who break any law, no matter how minor, should no longer be afforded basic human rights.

well guess it is to be expected, he is a cop

NZ believes in rehabilitation of offenders. You rehabilitate by educating them.

The idea is that educating them makes them more mature (as they 'discover' that other people feel pain etc) and mature people don't kill. This is derived from a theory that says that murder is basically an adult's tantrum or revenge and that when they mature emotionally this "kill-kill-kill" reaction disappears.

but how many of the these clowns who go through our prison system and come out the other end are actually rehabilitated human beings?

If you checked the Hastings prison link I posted, you can see that they have tennis courts, hopscotch boards, and fuck knows what other facilities!

My opinion is that prison is supposed to be a punishment for a crime. not a fuggin holiday ffs! the rehabilitation/ education can be done even when there are minimal comforts provided to them!

Rant over.
