Jim's Quality of Life OnLine

What our Victorian prisons so urgently need is an incentive system.

The prisons cost Victorian taxpayers nearly half a billion dollars per year.

A huge number of these prisoners re-offend after release - and return to prison.

So what are we getting for our money and what could be done that would be much better?

The answer is we need the very best education facilities to be provided in our jails - education which will help them to get a job and build a future life.

We need to provide an incentive to encourage the prisoners to take advantage of the education to gain skills and become valuable employees.

Incentive could be a substantial cut in the prison term if they pass certain educational requirements.

Maybe then we will see some employers looking out for Early Release Men - knowing that they have worked for their release and have gained skills.

The present system, which encourages bludging, is ridiculous. It is costing us all a lot of money. Get them educated and get them out as soon as possible.

Your faithfully,
