Easy on the old guy

What happens to a 32 year old American in Britain who holds up a jewelry store? Recoup the good and send her home? BTW, I’m free this weekend if you want to commit a crime. Except murder. I don’t do murder and that sounds like the one with the least penalties over here.

Or we could just go to the movies. Wait, sneak into the movies. Then I’d get two fixes in one.

Jen if the movie theatre caught an American sneaking in to watch it movies they’d probably give you a free voucher for the rest of the year and the local Labour council would elect you as its leader.

Regarding the criminal justice systems in the US and UK I feel like they both miss the target.

For me the US is too strict, sending people to hard core prison for long periods then chucking then out without much attempt at rehabilitation. The UK is a soft touch and many criminals repeat, only to be handed another ‘let off’.

In my opinion a serious crime deserves 2 things. 1) A harsh sentence…criminals need a dose of pain to make them realize that society won’t tolerate their actions. I support work farms.

2) They need a direction for when they get out. Job training, a skill of some kind.

You rob a bank for the first time, you get 5 years on the work farm, plus 3 years job training in prison…hope we never have to repeat the process mate!

Nick, I like your plan. Then we wouldn’t have a need for college, which in many cases, doesn’t give you job training either.

Now, to go earn my free voucher and work on my campaign plan.

Or we could just send them to Australia.
