ahh finally we get back to the point in hand
i thought you had forgotten about that.
maybe if you read the title of the thread and the various posts in it tou would see that the point i was trying to make was that BRITISH CONVICTED CRIMINALS are in prison to be punished for their crimes and the sheriff in question is more on a par with that notion than the british justice system.
my first poin we are not just discussing housing as you have wrongfully quoted(yet more evidence of failing to recognise the points raised) but the whole lifestyle in which these convicted rapists murderers paedophiles drug pushers etc. are allowed to live in
why shouldnt prisoners be made to earn their keep, why shouldn't they be on rations and why the hell should they have such luxuries as wide screen tv's playstation state of the art stereos etc etc i said this at the start and now i have to reiterate myself just because you haven't paid attention
and as for your advice - i think you will find that is no right or wrong answer and therefore there is no win or lose there are only the opinions of the persons involved in the discussions and as i have stated before i don't agree with your way lefty leanings nor you my opinions so for once be an adult and just agree to differ on the situation as i think you will find i already have.

and in answer to your question if it was down to me firstly i would reintroduce the capital punishment system and for those who were sentenced to imprisonment would be set to workin order to pay back their debt to society and the said prisoners would be fed on a meagre diet, enough to sustain them in their duties and maybe if they behaved themselves i may allow them the odd game of football for good behaviour

further more if anyone has changed the subject her it is you as you have turned this serious discussion into nothing more than a personal slanging match for which reason i humbly bow out of it. as unlike yourself i am her to discuss things seriously among the generally good natured people of this land
and not self obsessed yanks. As that would be the grown up and britsh thing to do.
