Straw: put victims first, prison is for punishment

#5  Let's bring back that go old Scandinavian custom of outlawry. Being declared an outlaw didn't mean you were labeled as "operating outside the law" as it means today, it meant you were outside the protection of the law. In other words "Bring me my AR-15, Inga, honey."

#4  The main point of prison is NOT punishment, it's to separate the uncivilised from society.

#3  England should adopt the Joe Arpaio tent cities to handle its overcrowded prisons. Put them out in the boonies and feed them oatmeal.

The best part is that tent cities, that is, military field conditions, are internationally held to be humane conditions.

#2  Must be an election in the offing. Labour only tries to even tangentially approach reality when it's time to go to the polls. The rest of the time they're wandered off in LLL, white-hating, guilt-ridden dementia.

Worthless bastards, the lot of them. Clement Attlee wouldn't spit on this shower.
