Some people will continue to look for criminal ways to make money because they don't want to work. So while they are habitual criminals, nothing will change them. Make them graft in prison. Others are 'institutionalised' to prison life and have low self-worth. Make them graft in prison, it might give them more confidence and self-esteem. I believe prison should be looked on as a punishment first. Rehabilitation should be the job of the parole service.

I think their sentences are fair enough, and I'm not a right-wing loon. I'm not even right-wing. I think that comparitively, their sentences look harsh, but I think paedos and rapists should get at least 25 years.

I know one or two that have done time, and I also know a couple of prison officers. I haven't any first hand experience of these institutions, but my opinions are based on theirs. I wouldn't argue about rehabilitation, but it means that the prisoner wants to rehabilitate. There are schemes for them in place, but the success of them are quite low. So, make prison a deterrent. Make it hard work. It may make the repeat offenders actually want to rehabilitate.

I think you're the naive one.

Might I suggest then, that prison life should become more spartan and less of a burden on the Chancellor's wallet.

It's judges giving out the sentences, they give punishments as they see fit. I have zero sympathy for any of the pondlife getting sent down. One of our society's problem's is that that people aren't scared of the law because of the pathetic punishments that have been handed out. This is a step in the right direction in stamping out the scum in our society.

56% possession and 5 goals away to a very decent looking Ipswich side. Outstanding.

Personally, I'd rather he played in the reserves than be allowed to go on loan again. His loan last season was about putting him in the shop window. Someone will come in for him this month.

Hard fought draw.

Who gives a toss about Man Utd? Are we signing Rodriguez or not?

You make a fair point in the comparison with Miller.

The things is, this isn't a Sunday League side with a load of mates playing together. It doesn't work like that in professional football.

No, I haven't got a clue about him or Maynard. I bow to the expertise of some of the posters on here who obviously have an in-depth first hand knowledge of both players.

A draw would be an excellent result. It's going to be our biggest test so far. They are a far better side than Leeds or Barnsley.

I live in Woolston. Since Vospers shut down, the centre has become a sh*thole full of charity shops and takeaways. Don't move here, it used to be good but it's sh*t now.

Classy post. I had almost forgotten how much I despised her.

What about C*ntsmouth, and calling them scumc*nters. Very f*cking classy.

Personally, I don't think Burnley can sell him until they've got another striker sorted out. Paterson is injured at the moment and they are quite short on numbers. I'm not sure this deal is dead in the water just yet.

The Echo are saying we bid £4.5m for Rodriguez, but Burnley have said he's not for sale.

Is he dune's dad? A few good points in there, hidden somewhat by the ridiculous.

I wouldn't go in for free.

If Burnley sell anyone else today they won't be able to get a team out for tomorrow. I don't reckon we'll get anyone today.

Or his Tory double, Eric Pickles (just trying to add some balance).

Could they do us a Peter Shilton at the same time?

Jimmy Case from Brighton?
