Re: Prisoners to get the vote
According to today's Observer, and taken from recently published Government figures-
Reoffending costs society at least £11bn a year.
Former prisoners commit one in five of every crime.
Three out of every five prisoners reconvicted within two years of being released from prison.
Clearly something's not working at the moment, and yes I do think you've moved the goal posts, first by stating that all but 'basic rights' should be issued to prisoners, and then saying that prisoners should be allowed to educate themselves at tax payers expense, a 'right' a lot of people on the outside don't have the privilege, or are able to afford.
