Well said Rob,it really is time for the doo gooders to shut up and take a reality test.Rob is right, more prisons are needed, and these new prisons should be so tough and hard on the criminals that the thought or being sent there for a second time will terrify them.As for human rights for prisoners, once sent to prison, human rights are no longer an issue,they have none!.As there is such a shortage of prisons, why not just send these criminals to some remote inhospitable island, give them a pile of bricks, and other building materials and make them build their own prison, at least they would be usefully employed.I like all the other law abiding population are sick to the back teeth reading about human rights for these low life, what about our human rights?.Rob is perfectly correct in saying what he does, it is time for US to start the fightback, metering out our own justice, if we catch someone breaking into our homes give them what they are asking for, a bloody good battering.
