1. If​ ​I​ ​hadn’t​ ​gone​ ​to​ ​the​ ​party,​ ​I​ ​wouldn’t​ ​have​ ​met​ ​her.
2. He​ ​wouldn’t​ ​have​ ​known​ ​about​ ​it​ ​if​ ​you​ ​hadn’t​ ​told​ ​him.
3. If​ ​you’d​ ​been​ ​more​ ​careful,​ ​you​ ​might​ ​not​ ​have​ ​got​ ​hurt.
4. If​ ​I​ ​could’ve​ ​helped​ ​her,​ ​I​ ​would’ve​ ​done.

1. What​ ​do​ ​you​ ​know​ ​about​ ​the​ ​prison​ ​system​ ​in​ ​your​ ​country?
For​ ​what​ ​we​ ​know​ ​is​ ​that​ ​there​ ​are​ ​certain​ ​Government​ ​programs​ ​aimed​ ​to​ ​recover​ ​prisoners
from​ ​their​ ​imprisonment​ ​so​ ​once​ ​they​ ​are​ ​free​ ​they​ ​can​ ​adjust​ ​properly​ ​to​ ​society.​ ​For​ ​example,
there​ ​is​ ​an​ ​agreement​ ​between​ ​Cárcel​ ​de​ ​Las​ ​Rosas​ ​with​ ​Liceo​ ​4​ ​both​ ​from​ ​Maldonado.​ ​The
agreement​ ​consists​ ​in​ ​delivering​ ​classes​ ​to​ ​prisoners​ ​in​ ​order​ ​for​ ​them​ ​to​ ​maintain​ ​or​ ​acquire
certain​ ​educational​ ​level.

2. When​ ​criminals​ ​leave​ ​prison,​ ​do​ ​they​ ​often​ ​re-offend?​ ​Why​ ​do​ ​you​ ​think​ ​this​ ​happens?

“Once​ ​a​ ​fox,​ ​always​ ​a​ ​fox”.​ ​Many​ ​would​ ​think​ ​that´s​ ​the​ ​appropriate​ ​answer​ ​for​ ​this​ ​question.
However,​ ​we​ ​would​ ​rephrase​ ​these​ ​questions​ ​as​ ​why​ ​do​ ​they​ ​tend​ ​to​ ​re-offend?​ ​Do​ ​they​ ​know
another​ ​way​ ​of​ ​living?​ ​What​ ​is​ ​their​ ​background?​ ​Have​ ​they​ ​been​ ​taught​ ​about​ ​rights​ ​and
responsibilities​ ​of​ ​living​ ​in​ ​society?​ ​They​ ​probably​ ​not.

3. For​ ​which​ ​crimes​ ​do​ ​you​ ​think​ ​a​ ​prison​ ​sentence​ ​is​ ​an​ ​effective​ ​deterrent?

We​ ​think​ ​that​ ​promoting​ ​violence​ ​fosters​ ​more​ ​violence.​ ​We​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​think​ ​of​ ​a​ ​world
where​ ​the​ ​saying:​ ​“​ ​eye​ ​for​ ​an​ ​eye”​ ​doesn´t​ ​apply.​ ​Nevertheless,​ ​certain​ ​main​ ​issues​ ​that​ ​human
nature​ ​has​ ​about​ ​controlling​ ​violence​ ​must​ ​change.​ ​Would​ ​that​ ​be​ ​possible?

2.
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​A
1. What​ ​are​ ​Margaret​ ​Bolton’s​ ​and​ ​David​ ​Gilbert’s​ ​jobs?
David​ ​Gilbert​ ​is​ ​Chief​ ​Superintendent​ ​and​ ​Margaret​ ​Bolton​ ​is​ ​a​ ​member​ ​of​ ​Parliament.
2. What​ ​do​ ​they​ ​agree​ ​on?​ ​What​ ​don’t​ ​they​ ​agree​ ​on?
​ ​Both​ ​David​ ​and​ ​Margaret​ ​agree​ ​that​ ​there​ ​should​ ​be​ ​a​ ​reduction​ ​of​ ​prison​ ​population​ ​and
re-offenders.​ ​They​ ​disagree​ ​on​ ​if​ ​they​ ​three​ ​strikes​ ​law​ ​actually​ ​works.
3. What​ ​is​ ​the​ ​“three​ ​strikes​ ​law”​ ​and​ ​where​ ​did​ ​it​ ​originate?
The​ ​three​ ​strikes​ ​law​ ​originated​ ​in​ ​the​ ​USA.​ ​Basically​ ​those​ ​who​ ​are​ ​found​ ​guilty​ ​on
three​ ​different​ ​occasions​ ​are​ ​sentenced​ ​anywhere​ ​from​ ​25​ ​years​ ​to​ ​life​ ​in​ ​prison.​ ​This​ ​is
mostly​ ​restricted​ ​to​ ​violent​ ​crimes,​ ​depending​ ​on​ ​the​ ​state.
