There's been a lot of talk recently about prison reforms, with Govt. White papers released on measures they may take to reform our prison service.
For a few years I've come across video footage of inside our prisons, showing fights, drug abuse and so on.
Recently this kind of footage was shown in a C4 documentary.
It seems the prisons are understaffed, with little to no prisoner rehabilitation as evidenced with prisoners more likely to re-offend within the first year of leaving prison.
So, what should be done to stop this rot?
For me it seems the system fails people from the day of birth, with many prisoners being in the care system from a young age, with poor education and so on.
Many prisoners deserve to be inside such as pedos/rapists but many are regular thieves who do petty crime such as shoplifting.
These runts wouldn't be doing this if the drugs they desired were much cheaper.
They would be cheaper if they weren't on the black market which is why I would propose legalising all drugs, taxing it, offering prescriptions/medical exemption registrar for people using these substances and a big investment in drug rehabilitation.
If someone is getting their Heroin on prescription, or can buy their spice cheap from a licensed store which contributes to the tax system.... Rather than paying double to some vermin gangs - they are less likely to commit crime in order to feed their habits.
And if they wanted to come off the drugs they wouldn't be convicted and punished for taking the drugs, but treated like someone who is medically ill.
This would be far far more effective than what we currently have... Legalise it all.
And if you disagree, just take 5min and stand around Piccadilly gardens before/after your city match visit and tell me that drug dealing isn't already widely accepted in our community.
Tax these rats and let the money roll in.
