the good thing about america is that it has a lot of desert , im surprised they dont stick them there, mind you i bet a few already are residing there but 6ft under

Could you imagine the uproar, if it was decided to site one of these hostels in say Viginia Water, or Kingstone on Thames, or sunny Lyme Regis even, now that would be fun

Good point Jay!
Dump all the scum in Accy no-one will bother!
Why do we always get the short end of the stick?

There's one in equally posh Richmond on Thames, as well as lots of other places in the southeast, and throughout the rest of the country

Bail Hostels

but their occupants wipe their feet before breaking and entering into your home and tidy up after themselves

Richmond is right next door to Kingston, and is an even posher neighbourhood.

There's also one in Battersea, where a one bedroomed flat will cost you £500,000.

As for Lymme Regis, besides Mrs. Pake's seafood stall and the Cob, there's not a lot else there, though there is apparently one in the Cornish seaside resort of Cambourne.

It's quite obvious that they are spread throughout the country.

No, it's the same sort of scum you get in all of them.

I think it was Panorama that exposed the one in Richmond on Thames as having sex offenders, and who weren't properly supervised, and were filmed talking to children.

If there was the slightest risk to the public I'd never have let them out of jail in the first place.

The point is they are everywhere, even Royal Leamington Spa, and genteel Boscombe. Sadly lots of people live near them.

You're right.

They reckon you're never more than a few feet away from a rat....now it seems we can apply the same to sex offenders.

I wonder how many bail hostels there are in Surrey, Hampshire, and other southern counties? You can find out at http://freedom.is/open.php but it doesn’t seem to list the 150 ClearSprings hostels.

There is no money in the kitty to build and staff new prisons so private companies like ClearSprings are formed and they operate to make a profit from our taxes.

We all know why there is no money in the kitty so there is no need to go into that now, but did you know that allegedly the government owes £555 billion and much of the ‘family silver’ has gone?

If this country were a PLC the receivers would have been in long ago.

Hi there

Actually, there are a few ClearSprings hostels in the Home Counties - I live next door to one! You're right to say that private companies are making a lot of money out of housing problem people. The Chairman of ClearSprings is doing very nicely, thank you; he declared a salary of £637,000 last year on the back of the contract to house offenders/defendants and others to house asylum seekers. A couple of other directors aren't doing so badly, either. Meanwhile those of us who are stuck with ClearSprings are not only having our lives horribly disrupted but are taking the financial rap for things, since we are unable to sell our houses. It takes a special sort of person to make money out of this sort of misery, but Mr Graham King, the ClearSprings Chairman, obviously has all the qualities which are necessary. Still, there's no point in blaming Mr King and his posse of Essex spivs too much. The real culprits are based in an ivory tower at the MoJ and have no interest at all in the s*** they drop on ordinary families who are trying to survive a major recession. Ironically most of the ClearSprings hostels are going into solidly Labour-voting areas, because they are the ones with cheap rents. So much for socialism.

I would like to ban the phrase 'they have to go somewhere'. We all have to go somewhere; that is not in question. The question is, how do we best deal with the most troublesome members of society so that they do the least harm to the rest of us? I don't think shoving them into little terraced houses with no supervision or guidance is the way forward. It's not doing offenders any good, and it's sure as hell not doing the neighbours any good either.
