So when will the UK start turning out murderers, rapists, and robbers to make room for their new class of inmates, Christians who dare practice their faith?
Yup, they used to. BTW, if you ever want to read a fascinating book about that practice in the 1800s (deporting criminals to Australia), read "The Fatal Shore" by Robert Hughes. Very interesting book about how convicts were deported to Australia for even minor infractions, like stealing a loaf of bread, and more major crimes too.
Well at the time (late 1700s to mid-1800s) poverty was widespread in England and hungry people do desperate things to eat. Such was the environment in England at that time, and the upper classes were looking for a way to diminish crime. They found it in the deportation policy.

Didn't they send them to Australia?
LOL

Stealing bread is inherently bad though, that's why I've been told.
