Your taxes, or at least the taxes of those of us who pay tax, are required to keep criminals in jail. If you want to keep people in jail forever, be prepared to pay the high cost required. If you don't pay tax because you are on a benefit, the ability of the government to pay you a decent benefit will be limited by the money that has to be spent elsewhere in the economy. See below:
'Australia’s prisoners each cost an average of $292 per day, in a system that costs the nation $2.6 billion (after expenses) in 2013-14, new justice data from the Productivity Commission reveals.
The average prisoner costs Australia more than the average Australian’s daily earnings - $160, including weekends, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics earnings data.'
Well I think some of the Worse Offenders should get the Death Penalty.
So not enough money so we let Killers and Rapists and Pedophies back in to the Community where they could Re-Offend again?
