Well you can tell your good friend that I for one object to the fact that

education in every other type of crime. If you took your head out of the

real
world, PRISON DOESN'T WORK.

Prison does work in that it keeps ne'er-do-wells out of circulation. It's
when
they are released that the problems arise.


Prison does NOT work in that it does not equip a prisoner for release again.
And the fact remains that, all bar a tiny minority, all of the many
thousands of people in prison right now WILL be released.
