Dilemma; Can you pretend you are running the Government?

Question

You are told more money is needed for the prison service.

You fail to deliver this money.

The consequence is very dangerous criminals are released into the community causing loss, injury and trauma.

So, what do you do next?

Answer 1

I would  put that extra money into schools and education, not into pampering  and pandering criminals.  Start the 3 strikes and your out policy. If they got out and caused loss, injury and trauma or broke the law, arrest them, put them back in prison.  If being in prison for committing the crimes to start with did not make them  want to not commit more crimes, then they need to be in prison again.
