Folly of jailing

The mother of Luke Masters and her son's jailer Dick Wallace, have one thing in common - they are both product's of this country's education system, (Northern Territory News, October 4).

The difference is that the former is ignorant of the well-established fact, contrary to what she believes, prison does not "rehabilitate" anybody.

This is why history will judge Dick and others like him in a very poor light - he does know that without question, jail bends minds, it does not mend them.
