"Prison is an expensive way to make bad people worse"

"Champions of harsher justice measures in the Harper government would have us believe that longer sentences are a win-win-win: for victims, for safe streets and for future victims. To that end, the government enacted a number of mandatory minimum sentences - which almost always involves incarceration - in the belief that Canada's judiciary are too lenient.

(snip)

The results show either no effect or higher rates of re-offending in jurisdictions with mandatory sentencing compared to non-prison options. Put another way: focusing on the high quality research into deterrence-based sentencing - most of it conducted in an environment as close to random assignment as social scientists ever enjoy - leads to the conclusion that there is either no deterrent effect or, ironically, that deterrence-based sentencing leads, in practice, to higher rates of re-offending when compared with non-prison alternatives."

The rest - chapter and verse - here: The irrationality, ineffectiveness and costs of the Harper crime agenda

A reminder: The Authoritarians - a.k.a. "Harper's base" - are always the first in line to form a posse.

WTG

Way To Go, Harper. Way To Go, Ritz.

Way To Go, rural prairie provinces, who voted for these mouth-breathing evangelical ideologues.

I would say that you have made your beds, now lie in them, and too bad so sad. Except that it is ALL of us - all Saskatchewan residents, all Canadian citizens, who will have to pay for your greed, your selfishness, your short-sightedness.

We stand as living proof that politicians can't go too far wrong by appealing to the worst of human nature.

THEY are doing very well, by the way. It is the voters - and the non-voters - who suffer.

"First of all, it was the Harperites who moved with lightning speed to eliminate the single desk marketing authority of the Canadian Wheat Board, the legislated monopoly over western wheat and barley export sales that existed for nearly 80 years. One of the consequences of the dismantling of the single desk was the removal of the CWB's role in logistics - moving the $5 billion to $6 billion worth of grain produced in Western Canada every year to export markets.

But in their ideologically driven haste to bring "marketing freedom" to western farmers, the Harperites conveniently ignored the warnings of farmers, academics and the industry that such a wrenching change would require several years, if not decades, of transition."
