The EU banned chlorine washing in 1997: 15-20% of EU chickens are now infected with salmonella.
If chlorine washed chicken became available at the supermarket, I would not only be happy to buy it, I would actively seek it.

We fail to invest in training up bright young engineers (talented young footballers) to work on designing, building and operating nuclear power stations (playing Premiership football) then wonder why we have to buy our nuclear power stations (Premiership club squads) from other countries.

Rehabilitation costs money. Money that most Conservatives are not willing to pay. Most or even all Conservatives would be happy to see new prisons built, but with cutting costs the primary objective.
In the longer term, effective rehabilitation will save enormous amounts of money. The UK has reoffending rates that are twice as high as those in more enlightened countries where rehabilitation is the norm. But people in the UK, not just Conservatives, want to see criminals punished and don't see rehabilitation as desirable.
So what will happen is: New prisons will be built and old ones sold off. Running costs will be reduced. But when it comes to rehabilitation, it will be "Thanks, but no thanks." The cycle continues ...

To that I would add, the most stable and successful families are those where a parent chooses to stay at home to bring up the children. The rise in family breakdowns closely parallels the rise in working mothers - who have no option but to farm out the care of their children to others, mostly strangers.
