[Dum-Dum]

Prison is a bit pointless tbh...  It doesn't help the prisoners, it doesn't help the families affected by the prisoners actions, it just costs tax payers money.  Where's the sense in that!?  Prison is ONLY good for keeping dangerous people away from the public, most of which will be mentally ill and either need help or will be permanently mentally f*cked.

Bring back the death penalty for some and have massive fines for others imo...  Very few would be on the phone if the fine was a grand each time...

There is some sense in this. I do believe prison sentences shouldn't be handed out unless you are dangerous to the public but in all fairness, if you have taken someones life from them due to your carelessness then you should also be punished. Difficult one.

I disagree. Some people are never going to be dangerous but need locking up more than someone who causes injury. The recidivist thieves and especially burglars cause misery to dozens of people most of whom will have sleepless nights because of it, alot won't feel safe in their own home for some time and some find it so traumatic that they actually end up having to move house.

I don't know if you know but a few years ago I was the victim of an attempted robbery of which I still bear the physical scars and had a knife pulled on me but TBH after that night it barely bothered me however on the other hand some bastards tried kicking in my front door at 3am one night and I barely slept for a week. It was that bad I almost went to stay at my parents and I had a heart attack at the slightest noises during the night for months afterwards.

Which one do you think is more dangerous?
Bear in mind after the robbery I ended up being carted off to hospital covered in blood having run for my life scaling a 10ft fence and wading through a bramble patch, the burglars I never even saw after jumping out of bed and grabbing a 6D mag lite to go and batter them.

Still think only dangerous people should go to prison?
