Isn't this ridiculous?
According to the Government Census on Prison Inmates 1995 there are 4323 male and 165 female (long term?) inmates ... To achieve equality we would have to either release 4158 men from prison or put 4158 more women in jail.
But its no subject to be joking about.
The Census on Prison Inmates 1995 also states that the percentage of male inmates incarcerated for five years or more rose from 14 per cent in 1987 to 29 per cent in 1995. Male inmates serving life sentences rose in number by 69 per cent, violent offenders increased from 44 per cent to 60. Prisoner aged 40 and above increased from 9 per cent in 1987 to 20 per cent in 1995.
Maybe we want to create a society like in the USA, which has the highest per capita prison population in the world.
If someone could outline what measures need to be taken to lower the crime rate. Yes, if someone could spell it out, please email it to me.
