I don't agree with paying taxes to keep prisoners locked away in cells with tv's, dvd players, gyms and stuff that honest decent people outside don't have. I say catch someone thieving and chop their hands off, catch a rapist and tattoo rapist across his forehead. This would be more of a deterent. Too many people who have nothing on the outside are happy enough to re offend so they can go back to their safe life of a roof over their heads and food rather than face having to work to pay bills.
I think you're bloody wonderful!

When the government was elected it promised to be "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" and it seems their promise has been carried out but they forgot to build enough prisons to house these criminals!
I believe in a short, sharp, harsh shock. A short but hard prison sentence, along with re-training and counselling should put most people back on the right path. Persistent offenders should get longer, tougher sentences and be made to do some sort of useful work.
Sex offenders should ALWAYS be locked up. As I understand it though, this chap had downloaded child porn but was not convicted of any assaults.

In cases like this they should be tagged and monitored.

Oldspice, tagging and monitoring is not enough. A child had to be abused to make the images that this bloke had downloaded. As far as I'm concerned looking at the stuff is child abuse by proxy. This man should have been looked up for several years - he is a danger to children. There is every probability that at some point this man will feel that the pictures are not enough and find a child. If they cannot help these urges then they either need to be locked up for life or have their penis removed. God knows why there are men like this.

According to the Sunday papers, there are 89 free prison places in Scotland, but because of some stupid law, English prisoners can't be sent there. This is despite the fact that English taxes subside these prisons - as they do most services in Scotland. 
The Scots are always whingeing on about wanting more independence - well perhaps they should get it, and have to survive on the taxes their dwindling 5 million population pay instead of getting subsidies from the English and doing nothing in return.
