I'm also guessing the majority of the 'prison's too soft' posters have never actually spent anytime in prison (and I don't mean an open day), so no-one has had their freedom taken away and can really know what it is like.
To be honest, I don't really care how cushy it may look from the outside, I wouldn't want to give up my freedom at any cost and I think many people here are under-estimating what kind of an impact this can have on a person.

No i agree a little bit, lack of freedom is a punishment in itself. But that is meant to be part of the punishment, and why should it be made any eaiser for them to get on with it?? giving them all thers facilitys is just makingthe punishment eaiser for them when my whole point is that prison should be as hard as possible to deter people. If it was a ok experiance then the deterent is not going to stop people from re offending is it?? if hey know the risk is worth it.
Having ben o ntour in Iraq and other places i know what having your freedom taken from you is like. Ok i was there with my mates and we had a lot of facilities( not to disimilaf from a prison then) but we could not just go down town, go on a bike go for a walk in the country, away from friends and family etc, we were restricted in what we could and could not do. Yes its for our own saftey as i hear downtown Basah is not the best night out. But the point is the facilities we had for us made life barable and eaiser to get on with things, while we missed family and friends back home, we dont get visits do we??
so as you can tell i dont really think your post holds any water.
