We’re asking people in Cardiff for their thoughts on radical new plans that would mean criminals aren’t sent to prison, but instead banned from things like sports events and pubs.

00:00I think that's a terrible idea, I, you know, if you want, prisons are a stopgap, you know,
00:12they work for some cases, you know, some people need to be separated away from society where
00:18they cannot hurt people, you know, if you are a murderer.
00:23I think that it's like an overthrowing of the whole criminal justice system really and
00:26I think that's probably not something that will ever come into effect, so I think it's
00:30a silly question.
00:33To be honest, I don't feel like that's a good substitute, because say if you've got a very
00:39disciplined person, so for example, like a disciplined bank robber, if you ban sports
00:46events or something, that's like nothing, he can just discipline himself to put himself,
00:51so that's not really, and obviously that's one end of the spectrum, but like that's not
00:56really a punishment to be honest.
