An expert suggested that certain criminals should be nt to prison in their own home. When the scheme was first put forward publicly, many people oppod it or hand rious rervations about it. One very experienced social worker oppod the scheme in a television interview. When asked to explain the basis for his opposition, he thought for a moment and finally confesd, ‘Well, I guess, becau it’s new. That’s my only reason.’
Advocates of the scheme pointed out that courts frequently ntenced first offenders to community rvice of some kind rather than nd them to prison. The stigma of having a criminal record was an adequate deterrent, and nothing positive was achieved by nding some types of convicted people to prison.
Some critics rushed to take extreme cas. ‘If a murderer is allowed free in the community like this, what is to prevent him from killing somebody el?’ This argument ignored the fact
that nobody propod to allow convicted murderers to u the bracelet system. One criticism put forward was that an offender could take off his bracelet and leave it at home or give it to a friend to wear while he himlf wet off to commit another crime. The reply to this was that the bracelet would be made so that the computer would immediately detect any attempts to take it off or tamper with it.
A more rious objection to the scheme was that the harsh life of prison was intended to be part of the deterrent to crime. A prisoner who was allowed to live at home would suffer no particular discomfort and thus not be deterred from repeating his crime.
No immediate action was taken on the proposal. It was far too revolutionary and needed to be examined very carefully. However, the idea was not rejected. Several governments appointed experts to investigate the scheme and make recommendations for or against it.去英国留学费用

Dr Adams was tired and suffering from jet lag. His temper was not improved when he was told, on arriving more than three hours late at New Delhi, that his plane to Colombo h
ad already gone and that there would not be another until the next day. The airline staff were very sympathetic and assured him that they had already booked him into the best hotel in the city, to which the airline bus would take him straight away. In the meantime. They hoped that Dr Adams would take the opportunity of eing something of their historic city.
The only things Dr Adams felt he needed at that point were a bath, a change of clothes, a good breakfast and then a long sleep. The hotel was luxurious and very cool and comfortable. After he had eaten he pulled down the blinds to shut out5 the glaring Indian sun and then slept for most of the day. About 6. he dr4esd and went down to the hotel bar, where he got into conversation with another delegate to the Conference who came from Zambia and who would be traveling with him on the Colombo plane the next morning. They decided to dine together and explore some of the sights and sounds of India at night.
The journey to Colombo was completed without mishap and Dr Adams and his compa
nion were met at the airport by the Conference Secretary, Mr. Mahaveli, who had been informed of their impending arrival by the airline. Mr. Mahaveli took them to their hotel, where many other delegates were already installed, and made sure that they had the program for the opening ssion.
On the morning of the cond day of the Conference, Dr Adams read his paper, which was received with much interest. He was asked many questions by delegates in who countries many of the problems he had discusd were commonly found. During the five days of the Conference he had opportunities to talk to agriculture experts from Jamaica, Kenya, Tanzania, India, Gambia, Australia and Nigeria and he also met some old friends who had previously been students at the Commonwealth School. He heard from many of them how they were putting all that they had learned to good u and of the problems they were trying to overcome in their own countries.
