No, I do not mean the universities where they teach useful arts and sciences and carry out research, I mean these other academies, the prisons, the universities of crime. Many fairly harmless and inadequate people enter them, as well as the unfortunates who are mentally ill and have been turned out of the hospitals for the mentally sick into 'the care of the community'. They serve their first sentence, and after they have graduated they are set on a criminal way of life and truly anti-social. They apply both the skills and the attitudes of mind that they have learned in prison to a continuing parasitism on society. Britain currently has the largest proportion of its population living in prison compared with other European countries.
Turkey comes next.
We will be living in a far more dangerous and uncomfortable society where the haves will increasingly have to depend upon security guards and systems of surveillance, and the have-nots be the victims of petty thieves and hooligans who have not the ability to prey upon larger game. I think that they know perfectly well what is going to happen if this disastrous policy is carried through. They fall for the simplistic argument that 'if they are kept behind bars these villains can't harm us' . As all sentences are not literally life sentences, the prisons are constantly discharging their 'graduates', corrupted and scarred more of less by their nasty experience, to make the present situation increasingly worse. They reasoned that one could effectively prevent robbers and petty thieves from continuing their careers by hanging them.
