My Strategy for a Safer Western Australia-Traffic Enforcement

I have said on 6PR Radio that we need to jail people who drive without a licence or P platers driving stupidly or speeding. Of course Labor Party thinking and strategy opposes this (as well as the death penalty) but obviously unless we take balanced action, we will reap the dividends of our policies.
Many will be shocked at these comments, but I assure you, a lout locked up for DD with no licence is not going to kill an innocent driver, and in the last 6 months alone we have seen far too many innocent people being killed. A far more effective ideology for dealing with dangerous road issues like someone who drink drives is to jail them compared to banning guns in the community. You can ban guns but bad guys will find them somehow. If you jail the bad guys how can they shoot anyone in prison, where they are under supervision?
And Labor will rather spend money on 'popular' rail lines than bother spending anything on jails or prisons. Of course the public are more interested in policing and public health, but that is proving to be the most ineffective strategy since the soft treatment in the Justice system is allowing violent offenders bail and early release. Unless Western Australians determine to find a good strategy to keep them behind bars until they hate it, or live with it, there is going to be little change in the community. The strategy that is needed is one that lets the prisoner understand clearly that he is being punished, not reformed, and secondly, reform is only an option to the prisoner. Reform should be only given as prizes to those who display a sincerity while behind bars that will ensure they are willing to go through a thorough reform process. If reform is 'given', it should only be given after the full term of a sentence. Parole needs to be binned until we can develop a 'home parole system, where a prisoner can live out of the main prison in a 'home' for the parole duration. Whilst in Parole Supervision needs to be given until the last 12 months. This will prove whether the prisoner will be willing to return to society or not, and if at the end of a parole period, the prisoner displays behaviour that shows they will not be able to respect others, then the prisoner will return to jail to serve the time he stayed in a 'home' whilst trying to get set to re-enter the community. Parole should never be an 'early-release', we need to change this and make sure it stays changed.
The main focus here is to get hard. Clearly by research it is possible to understand that many deaths in WA have occurred because we have not detained the person (or the Justice system let them out). Whether this be for traffic offenders (leading to fatals) or violent offenders leading to murders, it remains that because we have failed as a state to deal with these offenders, we have paid a high price.
