My point is very simple. I have no concernes about the welfare or well being of burglars.
Stick them inside irrespective of their background. The main priority is that a clear message must be sent out......burgulary is a high risk crime and if you do it, you are finished.
If they come out and reoffend, back in again for another 20 years.
No one in their right mind will committ a burgulary without thinking very hard about it.
