    even though the jails may get all the tight security, it all remains to be seen how they actually manage to run them and use the facilities to ensure that the level of security would be really up to date and be effective as well

    this is one of the most important subject which should be considered by our govt.
    if the criminals have easy access to break the law.
    think about the others there would be no fear.
