As crimes are increasing, prisons expensive and many young offenders become criminal again (often with heavier crimes then at the first offence) the state decided to start a new programm for young first offenders:
They´ll be sentenced to 100 days in the impact prison program. directly after court they´ll get their uniforms. Once a week a bus will collect them and bring them to the prison camp in the middle of nowhere, where they´ll be head shaved and chained together in groups of ten inmates for the duration of their sentence. They´ll sleep, eat and live in tents with bunk beds. Every day in the morning they´ll get their first ration of nutriloaf before sending out for work in the fields, of course all inside the seperated prison area. In the middle of the day there´ll be the second ration than continue working. In the evening when going back to there tents they´ll be unchained for shower. There´ll be a place seperated by fences where they´ll hose down each other with cold water before get on their uniforms (they´ll be changed once a week) and be chained together again. After recieving their third ration of nutriloaf they´ll be send to their bunks. It´s strictly prohinited to talk to other inmates at any time so there wont be gang memberships or some negative influence leading to other crimes. Disrespecting the rules will lead to one week in a steel isolation box outside in the sun. Once locked there´ll be just a small gap in the steel door where light comes in and the guard throw in the inmates rations of nutriloaf. Water and a toilet (a hole in the ground) are inside so there´s no need to unlock the box during these week.
After 100 days inmates are send back home. The bus stops at a bus stop near there homes, they get there possesions secured at arrest back and have to go the rest of the way in there prison uniforms worn for the last week of there sentence so everyone can see where they come from.
This sounds hard but is extremely effective. In two years the programm is running and treating hundrets of young offenders no one ever commited a crime again!
