Hi everyone.

Can't remember her name. For our class topic, and heros, there was a commemorative stamp made for a lady, (a member of parliament I think) who visited a jail and was so appalled she went to parliament to make changes to the prison system.

Thanks for the help.

You sure don't see the likes of her in politics today. She'd squirm in her grave if she could see what the system has deteriorated to with the likes of Pamela Wallin.

*scratches head* If she were alive today you'd gripe because she's soft on criminals. It's all well and good to glamorize the past but let's be real.

I think it's just a matter of striking a "happy medium", there's quite a gap between tying up non violent offenders and beating them and releasing violent sexual offenders on unescorted passes.

She sounds just like Elizabeth Fry, who appears on the £5 note.

Who is the "she" and what post are you referring to? Surely you're not talking about Lizzy Borden!

Agnes MAcPhail it is she not only went to parliament she brought the strap down in
the house on her desk and the men paid attention. Not sure why maybe because
hearing the whip made them have a sense of caution or perhaps they thought she
might use it on them. That could be good or bad depending on how repressed they
were (hehe couldn't resist that)
As for the strap being a deterrent in school, not so we respected the teachers in those
days. We also put the flag up and took it down each day and made sure it never touched
the ground. Today half these little buggers probably don't know which way the Maple Leaf
should be up or down. It is about respect not punishment. The reason the kids are the
way they are? Look around at the society. What values did we instill in them?
If we want to cast blame the mirror is a good place to start.

Bang on there, Grumpy. All the values today are tied to the dollar. (Greed is going to be our demise)
