Stuff. Ha! Why does it always come to that so quickly?
True.

If we started with readdressing the laws first. I mean why is it a crime to smoke a joint in your own home and why can we grow poppies but not marijuana? Changing a few laws, changes the numbers in prison, that I imagine could have a dynamic effect. Wtf about Easter trading? Why is that against the law? Some business practices are confidence tricks that are totally legal.
Haven't figured a good alternative yet but I think one should always have hope and one should be cared for if institutionalised.If we judge that someone is ready for jail, then we should be prepared to try and educate why. Jus' sayin' -
Whatever David.

If indefinite imprisonment is justified on the basis of protecting others rather than punishment then I doubt the reason matters much, just the pattern of behaviour.
Yes you are probably right good sir :) It is probably more about us than them. Bottom dollar. As someone suggested further back, who are ya gonna please this week? Votes count. Other than that I see the never ending story.

I guess someone could research the number of prisoners who have had access to rehabilitation opportunities yet have been convicted of ongoing multiple offenses that seriously harmed another person, or some measure like that.
Those stats probably wont prove the reasons for the bad behaviour. Other factors not sorted out by rehabilitation access will rear as soon as an inmate steps outside,
I recall there is stats on diagnosing mental illness amongst prisoners, but I haven't checked for it tonight. I do suspect that has been a major part of the problem to begin with. Retribution (or the pay-back) must also play into this when, people like Corrections Officers, know and accept the status quo (which I completetly understand) so an inmates cycle of lifestyle repeats wherever they go.
Released into a society that complains via the likes of SST because nobody wants a half way house at the end of the street. Then society thinks they should just know to be better now that they were told it's wrong. Yeah, grow up, get a hair cut, and get a job. Easy for some.How come? -
fewer than a hundred
more than 100 people
Soo, any number then? Other than 100. ;)

Yes! E-Can...
It would appear The Maori Party are seeing a bigger picture last night
I thought Leanne Dalziel was very informative in the house yesterday. She taught me quite a bit about this latest debacle. -
"A revolting piece of shit", had me thinking it was to be a blog on Rodney Hide.
Nah that would be "A revolting little shit" :)
