Ugh i never even considered this(i live in the UK) until i saw this thread. I read everything, it took me loving ages, and i am loving apalled, especially by that 50 min documentary on youtube.

In the UK atm the exact opposite is being argued by the right winters, that prison is too easy. I personally believe it's okay to give them some privledges such as games consoles, internet and computers(And the inmates apparantely treat their stuff better than most school children), but longer sentences should be incorporated for the worst offenders for long and intensive rehabilitation therapies with professionals, but i am scared if people start treating criminals as sub-human(they hosed up, and they got thrown in the slammer for it, and thus for a few years they have been told not to take part in society) like in america, this will happen here . I believe criminals should get their come-uppence, and do the time and get help to break the cycle but torturing them and battering them around all dam day just makes them hate the establishment more and they just sink further into crime.
