Greetings, from prison!

In the UK, the Dorset Police is sending postcards from prison to convicted criminals. From the BBC News:

The initiative is designed to cut the number of house burglaries in the county by warning criminals of their fate if they re-offend. The message on the reverse of the cards reads: "If you don't want to end up here... stop offending!"
