That would sound about right as our laws are topsy turvy. You'd think Alice found them when she was down the hole giving the white rabbit a tickle. |

Good. Perhaps they will now realise that their conduct has the same effect on the rest of society. |

Nice to see that they are getting some of their own medicine. If people think they can break the law or abuse others and then go into a cushy environment they’ll now think twice. Maybe this idea will be imported into other prisons. Maybe they could be locked up and the key thrown away. Give them a couple of weeks and then ask them - if they are still alive - if it was all worth it? |

QUOTE (user23 @ Aug 4 2009, 07:09 PM) Funny that isn't it. In one thread it's "get tough on crime" in another it's "I'm a poor persecuted motorist". Beware of putting a foot wrong yourself, those who cry out for "zero tolerance" of crime. Too ironic for words............. |
