Re: 40 years.
Unfortunately all those people who supported the “Human Rights For All” brigade are now reaping what they have sown, which is why we have prisoners living better than the majority of pensioners and people on low incomes.
It is high time that the UK government decreed that anyone who is meted out a prison sentence loses all human rights except those relating to humane treatment.
The prisoner should serve the full term that is dished out and not be let out early because of prison overcrowding.
Stop getting involved in hair brained schemes (ID cards, IT systems that don’t work etc.) and funding illegal wars and use the money to build more prisons and train staff to man them.
As someone has already mentioned, make the prisoners work and pay them so that the money can be used to keep their families and thus reduce the burden on the state.
I read somewhere (on this forum I think) that someone mentioned (probably tongue in cheek) the best work would be to make prisoners operate a treadmill to generate electricity. One hour on, one hour off for 16 hours a day. Make them work so hard that they will be too tired to even think about doing anything nasty, let alone make plans.
What about operating a laundry for hospital and care homes linen? There is nothing like a hot steamy atmosphere for sapping the strength. What about separating re-cyclable waste from all the trash that we get rid of? Saving the local authorities and us from having to do so.
The moral high ground Eric is a fat load of use as your wife and kids lie at your feet in pieces.
