and release Julian Assange and all others who pose no immediate danger to their fellow human beings now. All those who remain would also be better off with therapy or somewhere where they can do no harm or be among their own kind than being trapped in degrading cages. i remind you that Australia was once a convict colony. If all prison inmates were at least offered to do important work for humanity by being put to work where schools, hospitals and railways need to be built or climate change needs to be tackled, even that would make more sense than imposing unnecessary costs on the state and the community by housing them. In these days of GPS and tasers, electronic bracelets are better than bars when a person is a danger. Release them and give them jobs instead of destroying their lives in cages or death penalties because they made mistakes. We all make mistakes, some not so serious that they would break the law or have to be locked up, some unfortunately do. But the solutions we have are from another time and have never been revised. i am of course always open to better suggestions. But being locked up in an inhumane way behind bars is definitely neither the most sensible nor the most optimal and useful way to still create added value for the correctly behaving general public and humanity.
