Compensation for child rapist's lengthy detention

[Scurvy]

I was under the impression that reoffending is close to, if not over 50% at the moment. So, it's nearly odds on they'll reoffend.

Of course bieng poor in society that has free healthcare, free schools, subsidised housing and handouts for the unemployed is very difficult. Obviously more should be done by the workers to help those that can't or won't help themselves.

reoffending for minor offences, which is bad, but longer sentances help nothing, you just delay the reoffending by a few years, the answer is to rehabilitate people in prison (something that we completely fail to do).. not keep them in prison at the taxpayers expense...

--> more should be done to help those that cant help themselves... free healthcare that is dreadfully innefficient, free schools that are useless at teaching anything, bad quality housing and free houndouts due to the fact that it is very difficult to get a job when you have poor education, lack of qualifications and limited skills, a lot more should be done...

Because the innocent ones suffer when system fails, and we put them away to protect the good ones. Prison isn't about rehabilitation, why should it be, it's about taking a certain amount of time from someones life.

prison should be about rehabilitation, what is the point in just taking time out of someones life?! it costs money, and when they do get let out they reoffend, prison should be to help people, i agree with serious offences, like murder or rape it should be much stricter. Prisons are filling up (to beyond capacity) this might stop if we concentrate more on "educating" people, and giving them greater prospects and libing standards, not by stuffing them all out of site, and then complaing about paying for them...

probably at school I'd say knowing at least how it works here after reading some of the material that is forcefed to our youths, but it simply isn't true.

thats not very nice... --> horribly patronizing/condecending ;
