RECIPE FOR A RIOT

With all the news about crime and the lack of punishment in this
country, this ludicrous idea of supplying syringes to convicts is the
icing on the cake.

So, Mr. John Q. Scumbag gets arrested for possession of drugs, or some
other crime related to his drug use, and by virtue of some unexplained
miracle he receives a prison sentence.

His punishment is to be provided with enough free needles to continue
his illegal behaviour while in prison, at our expense? If that weren't
bad enough, we now have a whole prison full of whacked out convicts
for the guards to deal with on a daily basis. Not to mention the
potential jail-house weaponry that these idiots could devise with an
unlimited supply of syringes and down time.

If there were ever a recipe for a riot, this one fits the
bill.
