Points taken - one and all. Where I think the system falls down is that the criminals get to lounge around in well-furnished cells, colout TV's etc. They could be put to work - grow vegetables or whatever and so provide food for the homeless or be forced to provide the community with some service or other. Have nothing against a good chain-gang or two. And with the availability of electronic tracking escape is all but impossible. Just a thought.
