I can't imagine many young mules thinking about trafficking for large amounts of cash being deterred by the prospect of 5 years living in Peru and learning new skills ffs  .
5 years living abroad and learning sounds like a dream to me. |
The 1.5m is a price created by the market, in reality it's just 11 kilos of white powder that is potent and not worth anywhere near that, but people are willing to pay inflated prices for it because it's illegal.
I wasn't comparing it to community service here, which is a joke I agree but the community service there would be anything but a holiday, we're not talking about sticking them on Copacabana beach for 5 years.
Five years living abroad for some would be a dream but how much of a dream would five years be when you work an 8 hour day 5 days a week for no or little pay, with no family or friends around. Also Your days off wandering around a picturesque shanty town or a back of the beyond village in an alien environment, does this sound great to you? This is a working punishment and hardly the stuff of dreams and it makes far more sense than just chucking people into jail to rot.
