I don't know. I haven't informed myself enough about alternatives to the current penal system to form a decent response to that question.

haven't bothered to read all this thread as it does seem a bit daft.

I know someone who used to be in a Claimants Union group with Denis Nilsen. he was apparently a fairly 'libertarian' type, but surely such selfless work is a tad negated by strangling homeless kids with teadphone cables and chugging ones pipe over their corpses to the doleful strains of Laurie Anderson's 'Oh Superman'.

I'd have thought there is a reasonable argument in that if prison is there to 'protect the public from those who may pose a danger to life' folk who go about chopping folk up while they're still alive and keeping severed heads beside the yoghurts and mayo are not really the sort of people you want leaping about the streets, whether they've read a couple of books by Bakunin or not.

or am i missing something ?
