Bill: Prison Punishment Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Dorvish Popular Front
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2049
Description[?]:
| It is simply inpractical and illogical to educate proven criminals in prison. For one thing, the law of the land states all able-bodies prisoners must work during the day - so where does this time come from? Secondly, everyone gets a chance at an education (and, thanks to the ban on private schools schools are of equal quality no matter what background) so why should the taxpayer waste money on some half-baked liberal do-gooder education nonsense! If we turn prisons into cosy environments with education and other luxuries we will not see a decline in crime rates. |
Proposals
