problem with the prisons in the far north is staffing them and prisinor transportation costs.....

I feel we are way too easy on our convicted felons but we have to consider the lifestyle and safety of the prison staff.... unfortunately we would never be able to get away with a unstaffed dump in situation.

A lot of money could be freed up by imposing creative sentenses for non-violent, white collar and minimum secutity prisionors, work camps, community betterment etc...

Far as the high risk, 3 strike, dangerous fellons further isolation with no priviledges such as visitation, cable, schooling, communications etc could be done but it could not be so isolated as to punish staff... some people deserve to die no matter what the bleeding heart rights activists say... Karla Holmolka is free and living in Ontario with a young child concieved in the prison system, after the suffering and torture her and Paul Bernardo inflicted on minors niether of them deserve to walk this earth

Young offenders do not fear the justice system knowing that the system will ensure thier rights and allow them to serve minimal time in a comfortable setting....

Bogs... i have worked in remote far north isolated regions since i was 16

if thousands of canadians ALREADY do it, so can prison staff.... you'll just need a bit bigger staff 1/3 bigger to be exact

i ultimately believe in making prisoner work and give back to the society they've taken advantage of... you took away or infringed on someone elses rights mean you GIVE UP yours, no tv, no education unless they can PAY for distance learning that they can do on their FREE time, and slave labour all around doing labour work

bring back the chain gangs

This is true, can you imagine how the costs would rack up, having to fly all these felons down here for their West Edmonton Mall Weekend Pass...damn Flights, Hotel, Meals, I would imagine the local Constabulary would supply the transportation from the airport to the mall and back again though. :d

This Sir is exactly the problem in our society today.

In regards to how a prison should work. I remember learning about a prison in the US several years ago where they make the prisoners work on a daily basis doing gardening and tending to livestock. The prison grows and sells vegetables and meat and uses the money to pay for staffing and well to run the prison. They said the prisoners were well behaved and much more happier because they didn't have idle hands. They were busy every day doing stuff. I think this is an excellent idea.

sheriff joe apaio(sp) in arizona has the right mind set. chain gangs, no "extras", owns farms where the inmates work to grow their own food. one of the biggest contraband items in his jail is sugar!!!!!
