If prison was like a holiday camp, there would be no deterrent for crimes.
In the United Kingdom & Ireland, sentences are very, very weak and in many cases do not fit the seriousness of the crimes.
Many repeat offenders can do virtually anything and know that the worst case scenario is somewhere between 2.5 and 7.5 years.
There needs to be more of a disincentive. Prisoners piss and whine about prisons now. Maybe they should pick up a book and read about how bleak prisons were before WW2.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
