[Closed] Americans in Prison and Modern Slavery

deep red dave - no - once you allow for all other factors non custodial sentances have a lower reoffending rate.

Punative prisons increase reoffending.

Tj - thanks. Never been sufficiently motivated to research the facts that might support your statement but prima facie it's both pleasing and surprising! I appreciate if true it's a general issue rather than case specific which presumably is the problem here, knowing which approach will work best with each offender. Still think the majority of pretty crime/drug addiction could be avoided by better education however there is a small minority of society who really should not be allowed to need if they cannot parent better!
