I've said for a longtime that offenders should be put to work on the transport infrastructure of this country or within communities. There are always roads that need repairing, verges that need clearing/ tidying up, fences that need repairing, homes that need decorating etc. It's time for offenders to take a more possitive role within the community, many of them would probably be happy to get out in the fresh air for a while under the proper supervision. Maybe if they look upon this sort of work alongside good behaviour as a way of allowing offenders to take a small ammount of time off their sentence we would all gain.
