Replace short sentences with community service and rehabilitation and put a greater focus on education and skill development in prisons

Should do Community service, placed under house arrest (apart from when doing community service) and should receive education on not to commit crime again

 @9ZL5JLWanswered…4wks4W

Yes, but who how do we decide if a person is non violent, as it cant be based on the crime they have been convicted of.

 @9ZGX85Zanswered…1mo1MO

yes but only if there is the ability for them to be properly supported by providing housing and education/jobs

 @9Z9JVRCanswered…1mo1MO

Yes but they should be non-violent first time offenders and should be placed into a rehabilitation and community service programme.

 @9V9ZCC4answered…2mos2MO

No because they could just commit again they need to learn while in prison they should have a learning base to help support them once there out so they don’t re commit also reducing overcrowding overtime some that are close to finishing may be alloud under stuck circumstances

I believe this is an offence based, and an individual who has committed petty theft or minor drug offences should be released, but individuals who are incarcerated for stalking or possession of indecent images and charges of that nature should endure longer, more restricted sentences
