& njust think of the savings they are making whilst in jail! nought to pay out. Crime pays
|
I agree with the general view of this thread, but no one likes being locked up, even for a short time.
And as PU says, in the last few years the authorities have become better at seizing the proceeds of crime.
So there is a reasonable chance some of these will emerge from jail a lot poorer than when they went in.
Crime only really pays if you don't get caught.

£2m proceeds of crime to be recovered from the ringleader.
If he can make £2m from £1.2m into maybe Gordon Brown should talk to him rather than Darling!

not as straightforward a statement as it could be..because although no doubt everyone would prefer to be free...most of us would have a nightmare time in prison, a complete culture shock.. whereas the low life who habitually commit crime, often have little to lose
so if you live in some sink estate in squalor or don't have anywhere permanent to live: 3 square meals a day; warmth; a clean room; t.v.; gym; training opportunities; social time with like minded people; etc...isn't as bad as it could be

Don't you love our Austrlain cousin's and their straight talking ways...
SYDNEY, Jan 6 (Reuters) - An Australian court has issued a blunt warning about the sexual predators a young driver faces in jail if he does not stop speeding, as authorities struggle to stop teenagers street racing.
"You'll find big, ugly, hairy strong men (in jail) who've got faces only a mother could love that will pay a lot of attention to you - and your anatomy," said Magistrate Brian Maloney.
The 19-year-old male appeared in Sydney's Downing Centre Court on Monday charged with driving without a licence, failing to stop at a police alcohol check point and driving dangerously.
It was his third time before the courts for driving offences, prompting the magistrate's warning he would be jailed next time.
Maloney barred the teenager from driving until 2013, placed him on a 12-month good behaviour bond and ordered him to do 150 hours of community work.
Breaching any of these conditions would see the teenager jailed where he would "shower with the gorillas in the mist down at Long Bay jail", said Maloney, his comments confirmed by the court on Tuesday.

Westpig,
Most of the low-lifes I see in court seem at the very least to have a girlfriend, child, and near limitless access to the wares of Mr Carling and Mr Foster.
I've seen career criminals in tears at the prospect of going back inside again and I've seen countless barristers near beg judges to allow their client to keep his liberty.
I agree there are those who genuinely don't care about going inside, but if you gave everyone who is locked up tonight the chance to walk out, I bet there wouldn't be many left in the jails by tomorrow morning.

But they still keep volunteering for another stretch!
