: prisonlawinsideoutWhy the Commission on English Prisons Today is a waste of time and money
By John Hirst
David Wilson states: "A visit to Norway shows a much more humane approach to crime, reflected in lower prison populations".
How much did this visit cost and who paid the bill? Was it value for money or has someone ripped off someone or some organisation? I ask these questions simply because I discovered the same information, if not more, for nothing on the internet and it only took a few minutes of time.
David Wilson refers to Bastøy Prison, compare what he says with this wikipedia entry. Note also his reference to Michael Moore. The video below is taken from the extras on Michael Moore's DVD Sicko. Once again the information was freely available on the internet.
You can read more on Bastøy Prison here. And the website here.
