Up to a third of prisoners have some identifiable psychiatric disorder.
Prison is ineffective at reducing crime. Half of all prisoners (and nearly two thirds of young prisoners) reoffend within two years.
On average, one prisoner commits suicide every four to five days.

So what's the cure then, Frosty?
No prison? Plenty of counselling? Upping the suicide rate?
Or are you really suggesting moving them into first class hotels.
Up to a third have some sort of psychiatric disorder? Lock 'em up in a secure mental facility then.
