What do you reckon to our Prisons? A waste of time - just
universities of crime - more like 3* hotels - food better than at
home - more drugs on those Landings than on our streets - sentences
too short, don't even fit the crime. These people are criminals and
should be punished: that should teach them - they are released far
too soon and come out worse than they went in. Lock them up and
throw away the key. We are safer when they are Inside: we can get
on with our lives. So goes the common opinion: include gyms,
football fields, TVs and mobile phones and we turn away in disgust.
It's much harder if you have been at the receiving end of crime,
your heart weighed down with grief or your anger like an imminent
volcanic eruption as you scream for justice and revenge.
Understandable: but we must beware lest we lock ourselves up in
the high-walled prison of our minds and emotions - throwing away
that key.
Both prisons need a rethink before true release and reconciled
living are possible. Discipline Inside Jail: - Yes, but cruelty
only worsens a situation already bad enough. The facilities that
grate with you can work towards change for those who choose that
route. You say you feel safer now they' are Inside: the hole they
left will soon be filled by others. Do you hope for a peaceful,
reconciled life? Not yet, maybe: one day But most of these people
will be released back into society: then what?
This book is a must read for anyone connected with prisons,
perhaps especially for those who turn a blind eye, a deaf ear -
through fear or not realising how redemptive involvement can
be.
