Another thing that helps is that fact that prisons are not as bad as they used to be so that there is a more of a chance that offenders can improve themselves and lessen the chance of them re-offending (the positive way).
Go on then, give us the crime rate percentages for both the UK and USA and how these have altered in the past 10 to 15 years.

Do you honestly think that because prisons are not as bad as they used to be makes prisoners less likely to re-offend? I would have thought that common sense dictates the opposite is true.
