Don't you also think jails/prisons are too good for those who comit a crime?? for example The Netherlands, prisoners get milk + bread for breakfast and good lunch and dinner. Beside that they get paid!! yes, prisoners get PAID!! to buy their things. in their jail, there is a tv, a good bed, great window, table etc. Is this a bit too crazy?? don't forget they are criminals!! Yes, criminals have rights too, but I find this a bit TOO much... what do you think??

At the end of the day Criminals are still human beings and have a right to food and a bed. Prehaps they are getting to many benefits - but the majority of them are going to be released back into society therefore to exclude them completly from societal ways for a prolonged period (ie no money no tv) is probably only going to cause problems in the long run. I do reackon that they should work for their keep tho, darning socks or something!

that's a very wise comment, thanks. and I agree with you they should work for their own money.
