Does this makes sense

And we want to host a world Cup.

Number 1

One of the men accused of killing psychology student Bianca Warburton told the Alexandra Magistrate's Court on Monday her murder was a "mistake".

"It was a mistake," 25-year-old Ntembiso Msalaku said, in an English translation of a statement given to the court. She was leaving a Hospital servicing poor people.

I am afraid not Sly, very sad

Sly:

can never disagree!

Consider also, in Mexico, drug gangsters shot down a police helicopter.

Crime has so many faces and criminals have this audacity.

Maybe, we need to join CPF's and give support to our cops from local level. At the same time, corrupt and inefficient cops must be weeded out.

The courts must hand out tougher sentences- no concurrents!

Finally, subject the vicious prisoners to hard labour; send them to the Kalahari/Karoo (or, as one Correctional Services director noted years ago, shove them into disused mine dumps and concrete the bloody entrance) and restrict them to 1 meal (pap and vegetable gravy) and 1 litre water per day!

Amend our cosntitution to state: when criminals abuse citizens,their rights will be forfeited in double proportion!

Drug dealers, rapists, hijackers, murderers...life to be life- no parole!

Somehow use them to generate the energy this country needs. The problem with our system is that prisoners give nothing back to society but time in prison. Their efforts go into more internal criminal activity and a lot of gangs (worldwide) are controlled from within prison walls.

They should be used to create goods that government can use to sell locally or abroad to pay for their stay in prison. After all crimes are comitted against society yet society pays for these peoples stay in prison - rather ironic. They must pay for themselves.

I suggest a pedal system for power generation on 3 8 hour shifts. It would work like this:

1. Pedal power to turn a charger to charge a large underground battery
2. Battery will provide power to an inverter
3. Inverter will power a small township near to a prison - Cant pwoer the prison or they will stop peddling (lol).
4. Capture methane from prison sewerage systems to run methane powered generators.(infact should be looking at this for townships too)

I need to say this perhaps the wrong thread, but Eskoms proposals on rate increases say nothing about money being set aside for alternate energy sources. High school mathematics will not solve our energy crisis. Thinking out of the box and developing ideas will.

We need prisons like the one in the Arizona desert run by a hard nosed sheriff.
They do 12 hours each day in the chain-gang and are fed on $1 a day. There is only 1 TV in the dining room which is permanently tuned to the weather programme so that they can see how hot it is going to be the next day. The prison uniform is pink - including underwear.
The sheriff is quoted as saying "I'm a bit perplexed because most of the prisoners released don't seem to want to come back here" ! !!!!!!

My 2 cents

The problem in sa is as folows:

Everyone complains about crime, everyone says how crime affects them.
