The real cost of prison: It's the economy stupid
Moral, social and political arguments for and against prison are all very well. But what about value for money?
"It might be true that incarceration reduces re-offending, but the cost of the prison system still has to justify that reduction. Is the cost of cutting offending through prisons too high? Could alternatives provide better value for money?".
Kevin Marsh argues that:
"Alternatives to prison seem to deliver a better return on public money".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
