Sleep is the best medicine for crime in Diego Martin


THE EDITOR: I have an idea on how the crime situation can be solved. It is so retro, it just might work. Can you remember in days of old, how almost all maladies were considered to be stress related or due to overwork and rest was recommended?


I have come to realise that a lot of our people especially the young, are claiming that they just can’t seem to get rest, and as you know without rest there is irritability or outright anger. So in order to help these folks and our country, the Government should think very seriously about providing "sleep centres" which as the name implies should be used solely for sleep.


These centres should be located throughout the country and should be risk free and highly secured. As our unemployed are mainly the ones to get involved in crimes, they should be encouraged to seek out these centres; and on entry given a harmless sleeping draught, made to sleep for a day or two and when they have become frequent visitors, given job offers no matter how small. Don’t think with this in place, we would have a healthier nation and less crimes?
