    Bring in "tent city"

    This is a common problem & still no-one has addressed it, this should NOT be a true statement, yet time & time again it is.
    Two young men told a judge that they reoffended because their life is better behind bars.
    Bring in 'tent city' make prison life shit, make people NEVER want to return!

    A couple of pics from the already established 'tent city'

    long time ago that where I first saw tent city but the Stuff article is what brought this about, it is quite common for people in NZ to commit crimes purely for the reason of returning to their 3 star (albeit restricted) accommodation this really needs to be stopped & I quite like 'tent city' as the way to do it

    I agree with you as my opinions regarding punishment for some crimes tend to be a little on the biblical side... However - its a pretty complicated problem. People in prison for a long time are really going to struggle to get going again so often, no matter how shitty it is, prison IS the only option.

    On the other hand - some people should just be exterminated

    A nice tent city on the Desert road would be perfect.
    Toasty warm in summer and relaxingly cool in winter.

    The new Auckland jail is a fucking hotel. Sky tv in each cell ffs!

    Tent city still costs a lot......I know of a good way to fill an old mine.

    Bring in the M60.
    Cats land on their feet. Toast lands jamside down.
    A cat glued to some jam toast will hover in quantum indecision

    Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

    in my idea tent city would only be for "buffering" (for want of a better word) our legal system isn't always accurate or fair so we can't just go round executing punishments outright. If they are repeat offenders & thus without doubt criminals, punishments will be given out fitting the crime. PC people might not like my ideas on this neither (but then they probably think tent city is "too harsh" too)

    ive always thought we should let somewhere like Cambodia look after our hardened repeat offenders.
    pay them maybe $1000 (rough guess) per prisoner per year
    benefits
    save a fortune
    people will not reoffend
    help a 3rd world country

    Cons
    not PC

    A way to help pay for the prisons would be to set up a Big Brother scenario. 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.
