Crime - Are We Tough Enough?: Prisons

SYNOPSIS

Chris Daw QC and Ayesha Nayyar look at what role our prisons should play in the fight against crime. For Ayesha, prison should be a place that acts as a punishment for those who have committed crime and a deterrent for those who are thinking about it. Chris disagrees. He believes that prisons are an overused and ineffective tool in the fight against crime. They crush the human spirit, make people worse and don't work.
