Prison policy reform is a difficult issue, touching as it does on alcoholism, drug abuse, mental health issues. learning disabiolities and the list goes on. However what about people who are abusivel, drunk and disorderly, terrorising the neighbors to the point that they want to move, but not really committing any offence that they can reasonably be imprisoned for?. Whar about an ASBO? (Antisocial Behavior Order)
I am not necessarily advocating them, because they can be used when appropriate treatment of the underlying problem would be better, but it should be one of the options explored in a thoroughgoing review of prison policy
