I don't understand why we've moved away from sending all of our convicted felons to a far away island, like the Brits did with Australia.
I think the only reason this genius idea didn't work is because Australia is too big and too far away. Instead, let's just find one of the more poverty-stricken islands in the Caribbean and send all U.S. prisoners there.
The show Lost is pretty popular right now, what voter wouldn't rave about this? Prisoners would have to work together to survive.
And if a prisoner actually chooses to escape their island paradise and makes their way back to the mainland and the civilization he's been banned from, then it probably speaks volumes for his rehabilitation.
Or we could continue to use the current system, sucking up our tax dollars and sending our rapists and drug dealers back onto the streets worse than they were to begin with.
Has anyone ever been to Jamaica? It'd take about two days to convert it to an island prison.
