Prison doesn,t work, well I dont know about that,having never been inside to stay, but I have been inside 4 prisons as part of a 'tour' many years ago, we were treated very well by both staff and cons, whether prison works or not Rieds Idea of shoving people on a boat or whatever is Mental.
There seems to be no alternative to lock some people up, they are wrong'uns and will always probably be, so! why spend millions on alternative methods, reducing the prison population by releasing non violent offeners et al, surley this money could be spent on........New Prisons, the prison population of this country given that there are over 60,000.000 people is remarkabley low I think under 200,000 so build 20 new prisons... then worry about finding alternative solutions, it,s not rocket science.

We have prison problems over here in the states with overcrowding and the majority of them are filled with african-american and latino men and the female population of jails have been growing since the 1990's. With the rise of privately operated prisons (they're on the stock market I hear) and the problems the have with for instance, not enough staff, the way I look at it we don't need more prisons because you got to remember, they do get out of jail and we need reform by way of true job training and drug rehab, not a revolving prison door.
