Dear Editor,
I read “The Daily Herald” every day with interest. I find the local and international coverage excellent. There was an article in the April 24/25 issue, on page 9, about the donation of boxing equipment to inmates. Apparently, the premise was that this will contribute to their rehabilitation.
They are inmates because they committed an offence to the public. Why train them to be more aggressive? Why not just add a course in the handling of weapons?
I am sure that there are many other programmes that can be instituted that address their aggression and can hopefully allow them to control their feelings.
