• Instead of prison put drug addicts in secure treatment centres and those needing mental health help in fully public and staffed NHS mental health units.

PROBATION
• End Probation Service.
Redeploy Probation Service staff into community projects.
• Replace Probation Service Funding with community projects to prevent kids joining criminal gangs.
