JAILED CRIMINALS NOT COMMITTING CRIMES

Polly Toynbee looks at the British crime figures, concludes that crime is on a downward trend and then laments the high incarceration rate:
An unquenchable thirst for punishment has seen the numbers given prison sentences rise by 53% in the same decade that crime has fallen.
Gee, it might just be that the "unquenchable thirst for punishment" has reduced crime. Duh.

What do you expect? Polly is the same harpie who screamed blue murder about the Christian and Imperialist American undertones of the Narnia movie.
