Prison overcrowding is rife, and prison populations in
a lot of otherwise borderline civilised societies are
absolutely vast. Prison populations are also
disproportionately made up of whatever people are
minorities in that particular country.
I therefore propose 'Musical Prisons' based on
the
children's party game Musical Chairs.
Basically every day one prison bed is removed and the
lowest risk prisoner is released back into the wild.
Once the population is back to an acceptable level
prisons operate a one-in-one-out policy where the
least risky offenders are released to make way for the
newest crims.

So not Rodgers & Hammerstein ? |

Oh ... I was expecting to find out that if convicted I had the option of serving a reduced sentence duration in a pop - country - rap facility. |
|
| |
Which would serve as a deterrent, I should add ... |
|
| |
I was hoping for a scheme whereby a prisoner is allowed early release if they reach a professional standard in a musical instrument. |
|
| |
The jail cell bars could all be slightly different lengths/weights, so that as the guards drag their truncheons across them, a tune is played. |
|
| |
Oh, and it's a good idea, by the way ... (+) |
|
| |
And interesting idea that would need a new title to be
considered in real life obviously. [+] |

Hi ya, [neilp], long time no see ya around here. |

+ Nice idea...I was thinking the prison bars could be tuned
like a xylophone, so when the prisoners ran their cups back
and forth against the bars, music would ensue! (sorry I see
that [mitxela] said similar, but it different words.) |

I don't think there is a piece music that will stimulate the auditory pathways to invoke a feeling of guilt. That would be Pavlov's criminal. Or is there? |
|

If it was a glockenspiel, then prisoners would have hammers! |
