O Canada, where art thou?
I'm curious about why Canada isn't on the BBC list at all. Apparently, we have about 32,000 prisoners, which should put us above Australia, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

We don't here about all the rehabed prisoners that make good after they get out - because most of them want to put that experience behind them.

I have a neighbour who spent some time in prison many years ago. Today he's 65 and the most honest and loyal fellow you'd ever want to meet. Something worked.
