Wow, just seen this on Sky also! Surely it can't really do any good, can it?

Interesting. I've created an easier link for people to access the short clip, Ron. I hope you don't mind.

Rodeo Redemption

This is a tough one, Ron. Do I think that the rodeo will cure a child molester or a rapist? No. But it might help the inmates who do participate by giving them something constructive to think about and to channel their anger into. It's got to be better than having them sit in a cell all day dwelling on their rage and planning their revenge if and when they get out of prison.

There is no love lost in my heart for hardened criminals. I don't care what their hard luck story is. There are many people in this world who had equally traumatic childhoods and yet they find a way to cope. People simply must learn to take responsibility for their choices.

Thanks Diana, just didn't think to do it. You know the biggest shock to me was that the inmates look and sound so 'normal'...but I agree totally with your comments.
