SIR - How good it was to read the headline in the Worcester News "Carry a Knife and you'll go to prison" (June 5).

It would be even better if this were applied to assault, mugging, burglary, robbery, rape, child molesting and the like. Let's make that prison sentence long and full term, without the comforts and amenities of everyday life.

TONY EAVES,

Martin Hussingtree.
