If there are going to be 'sweeping reforms' put in place following this, I certainly hope it's more than just making the bail system more rigorous.
I've not got a clue what a prison cell is like or what a jail life involves but one sure thing is that I have not got an essential fear of it and only shake my head when I hear f some of the care that is taken to provide a place for in-mates. Don't get me wrong, there are probably decent people in jail but for fucks sake, how about making our jails something to be really scared of? It's supposed to be a place to punish people and bore the shit out of them to deter future crime and condemn the bad decision makers. Surely instilling some sort of fear into a potential criminal would be a good defense? I imagine there'd be some rough shit go on in a jail but making it a scary prospect would deter someone with half a brain.
