It seems more productive and effective to use the infamous WHITE VAN and the SHOT DEAD BY ESCAPING from the Jeep used by the previous govt, cos in Prison cells they will operate and coordinate their underworld thugs by mobile phones in more organised way whislt public pay taxes for their hospitality in Prison.

We should have appointed SF as minister of Justice. He would have fixed all the underworld problems.
