Too, you can't give blood for 3 years. It was suffering and I was taken out on, from the other people's aggressions in jail. I was close to be murdered. I had great relief to be out of political bars…

Saraha, woman or not, just as she was strong enough to do the crime, she should be strong enough to pay her dues.

Don't let Criminologists hear you :) It is a science that I am not very familiar with, but community service might be good for misdemeanors, not for dangerous crimes such as theft,burglary,rape,child molestation,murder, assisting in murder, violence, child abuse,etc..

You get my point.

Off the top of my mind, Community service

That's now how prisons work. The idea of keeping someone behind bars,for say stealing, is to minimize the chance of him/her committing the same crime for the time he/she spends in prison. A thief in prison means less thefts. The “correction” aspect is another one.

I understand what you are saying, but what alternatives do you have? Capital punishment? No punishment at all?

Well, but how feasible is prison? A thief goes to prison, learns the ropes, gets introduced to more contacts, and voila…

Well I would like to say I agree with Ola, but the fact of the matter is that some people trespass onto other people's rights and freedoms and thus need to be separated from society. I'm trying to imagine another form of punishment that could take the place of prisons… but nothing feasible comes to mind…

I don't know, maybe it's just instinct, the idea of having one's freedom put on hold, having your life passing before your eyes knowing that you're stuck for the time being

I don't believe in jail as an effective punishment

The picture and the whole idea of women's prison makes my blood curdle. I'm looking at the woman in the picture, without seeing her face, and I think to myself: what did she do? And to think that she's spending her day in a confined facility… the notion is suffocating
