Someone else started this!!!

I have just read 'hoping to be a hippy's' blog. In it he mentioned what he would do if he ruled the world. I wanted to run with that idea.....

For a long time I have had this idea, I promised people that I wouldn't go on about it when I began my degree (which is in criminology) but then I found out that Plato....(who ROCKS!!) thought the same thing, and wrote about it on several occations.

You know Australia....and they transported criminals and prostitutes and the insame there.....and then there was Alcatraz....well I think its a great idea!!

You would have (when I rule the world!!) murderers, (not the i've come home and found the missus doing the milkman and so killed him,) paedophiles and rapists on this island. they would be chain ganged and they would work the land. Harrold Shipman (if he were still alive!) could be the doctor....you wouldnt want any diabetics on the island would you?!
The army would run it. anyone trying to escape gets shot in the leg.....then Harrold can sort you out! ...no 'ologists'...no T.V. and you're there till you die.

Now, having nearly finnished my second year of my degree, I have to say that my opinion has not changed a great deal.

Rehabilitation works. No doubt about it. I can back this up with facts and statistics, and there are people that agencies within the criminal justice system that can be helped.

But there are others that cant be.

And that is why Plato and I agree on 'island life'
