Kid: This scandal, that scandal, there's no end to it... so what's the broad national development program Sir?

Politician (chair reads “Republic of Clowns”): Build as maaaaany prisons as possible.

According to official figures, around 140,000 inmates are being detained in 413 prisons designed to house less than 90,000. Rather then building more prisons, critics say the authorities must stop jailing minors and people convicted of petty crimes.
