In our first session, the stats were given. An average prison sentence, I think, was 47 days, and a conditional sentence could be around 700. Do you think you could have more effect on improving or rehabilitating a person if you worked with them for 700 days on some of the things you just outlined, than you could by putting them in prison for 47 days?
