The british prison system
It is evident that looking back through past years up to present day the British prison system has gone through some very radical changes and it still is. The fairness in which the officials treat prisoners is taking a turn and the various programme strategies that once seemed fruitless in offering positive reform is now working effectively to minimize adverse behaviours and to correctly implement the right attitudes to function correctly in society. Of course there is still crime but then it is always going to exist. What is well understood is the prison system is becoming more precise in how they determine the correct rehabilitative treatment programmes for individuals so that the best possible methods will be found for individual cases since all offenders are not the same and are not facing the same problem areas in their live's. Hopefully this present trend will continue and the future will hold even more improvements in the prison system within Britain and the surrounding UK. Even more noticeable is the publics' perception of the prison system.

Other things that come to mind include leaders having extreme power over the citizens, military dominance over politics, low education, high levels of poverty, crime, and corruption.The controversy, Wikipedia states, derives from the political and military implications of labelling a state as "failed". The proclamations and laws of its government may be ignored, and in some cases violent action may be undertaken inside the borders of the "failed state" by agents from other countries; such action naturally has highly dubious legality.
