Dave, when a burglar is released from prison, would you want him;
a) to go back to burgling, the only trade he knows, because it pays for the drugs habit, or
b) to do something else because he's off the drugs, doesn't need to raise £200 a day to feed his habit and is capable of holding down a job, can now read and write and feels for the first time in his life that he can contribute to society rather than simply take from it?

Or should I put a (c) option for the Daily Mail readers - no-one should ever be released from prison?
