An interesting concept, doesn't seem exactly like "jail" though. I guess I attribute that with a little more isolation. *shrugs*

Someone saw Escape From New York and thought it looked like a good idea.

It is a good idea. Build a wall around New York before they realise and fill it with more criminals  :nod: :nervous: :nervous:

They're sort of doing that in Iraq; putting giant walls (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060815/wl_mideast_afp/iraq_060815115748) to 'block off' areas, then sending in the troops to sweep it.  Not working very well, though; I think something like 400 people have been killed in sectarian violence this week alone.
