Throughout history the act of imprisonment as a punishment against people who commit offences against society has been carried out in some form or another. In earlier times the punishment was administered to fit the crime, and commonly administered on an ‘eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth’ basis.

These concepts may be quite valid in theory, but seldom deal with case hardened habitual criminals, terrorists who are happy to become martyr’s, and massive drug cartels who pay no heed at all to any kind of law, and are frequently aided and abetted by the people who make the law in the first place!!
