Why Prisons Fail

For UKers you can listen to the article.

For the rest of you, here's the article in print

Says much of what I think of the prison system here, its failures, its lack of vision, its confused intent stated by politicians.
Like much of the country I live in today, there's a lot of lip service to grand ideals, but when it comes to shelling out the cash for something that might actually do some real good, all of a sudden everyone is patting their pockets with that look of faux embarrassment - "Sorry, I seem to have left my wallet at home today..."

meh.
