You keep saying it, but that does not make it true.

What little about the period you have read, you obviously have failed to understand. Please, do yourself a favour and stop digging.

The last thing I read on this (A forward written by The Rt Hon., The Lord Woolf, Master of the Rolls) was along these lines. He was criticising the current government for implementing what he described as crazy policies (not in so few words) of the previous Conservative government, which involved the detention of large numbers of youth offenders. He waxed lyrical about how the detention of relatively minor offenders massively increased the chances of re-offence in the future - and in the examples he used, it was about youth offenders being exposed to general prison populations, becoming drug users and (as you say) acquiring new "skills." It strikes me that although detention _will_ reduce the (other) crimes committed by the addict for the period they are incarcerated, the long term prospects are pretty glum. |
