Or arse about face logic

A programme should be embarked upon to close women's prisons in a bid to reduce reoffending rates. Eh??

[threaded]

Welllllllll, believe it or not but most women are in prison for offences that snowballed from a starting position of failing to pay the TV license.

So it is actually quite a great deal simpler, but not very likely in political terms to happen: if they really really want to reduce the number of women in prison they should abolish the TV license.

A bit like spending millions to improve the cross pennine route to manchester and then spending more millions on traffic lights with the sole aim of deterring use of the said road.

According to the Highways Agency, traffic increases on the A628 within the Park would be 70% following construction of the bypass. Therefore the Highways Agency is proposing installing traffic lights along the corridor and bypass to slow down the traffic and limit traffic increases to 45%. However, it does not propose to mitigate the impacts of 45% traffic growth (e.g. noise, air and visual pollution) on the A628 through the Park.
