[Margaret Pilkington]

I don't agree with torture or cruelty, but neither do I think that society is served by prisoners having a lifestyle that their victims cannot even dream of.
Prison should be a place where life is hard.....early mornings.......physical exertion.....suitable food requirements but nothing fancy....... and the inmates should be aware that they are only in this deprived situation because of their own actions. I am sick of hearing the pleas of solicitors who bleat on that their client had a deprived childhood...is a drug abuser etc. etc. THEY CHOSE to do wrong......so if you can't do the time then don't do the crime.
