They cost too much money because they are kitted out like holiday camps!

re: tough on crime tough on the causes of crime
So the closing down of these 3 Prisons which, apparently are "unfit for purpose" ? Really ? why ? Because of human rights & suchlike ? Brought in & enforced by who exactly ? Means 850 places have to be found in other Prisons throughout UK.
Shouldn't be to difficult really, the present Prison population is about 85,000 according to various sources, UK Prisons can hold approximately 87,000 so loads of room. Mind you if we didn't have so many foreign prisoners languishing & lapping it up in our Prisons (Oh about 11,500 if we could get shut then the Prison population of around 73,500 would be easily accommodated ! Not Rocket Science). However due to certain people & their policies guess what ? We're stuck with them ! Now consider this, the average cost for a years bed & board for these creatures (irrespective of home grown or foreign) is about GBP 41,000 ! GBP 41,000 ! Multiply that by 11500 ! I did but can't get my head round such astronomical numbers ! Such a vast amount of wasted resources that could be better spent elsewhere & the Country certainly needs it there's no denying. So lets just back track a bit to find out the real culprits are here, who let them in ? Who jailed them ? Who signed up to an act that prevented us repatriating them ? |

Prior to transportation of the criminal classes to Australia in the latter part of the 18th century, the policy was to ship the convicts to North America, primarily the 13 colonies but to a lesser extent, Canada. Maybe we should now revise this method; I'm quite sure that given the extent of the Canadian landmass, ten thousand foreign criminals deposited on Her Majestie's Canuk shores would soon be lost in it's great wilderness.

Re: tough on crime tough on the causes of crime
There are too many in prison when another sentence would be more appropriate .
David Chayter the ex-MP was jailed for fraud . He had paid all the money back . He showed remorse . He was not a threat to the public . Surely those in authority could have come up with something better than a term of imprisonment . |

Still I suppose President Sarah Palin is somewhat better looking than your current Queen. I wonder about your new flag though...with 10 provinces and three territories, will it be 60 stars on the flag (6 X 10) or 63 (7 X 9). I suppose the latter is has more appeal..which do you prefer? |

Personally I'd have given him the maximum & all the rest of the thieves & liars should be treated just as harshly when caught ! Just think on JCB, next time you're denied a basic service that you've paid for with your taxes because "There's no money" due to cutbacks ! It's because of people like Chaytor & similar gorgers who have emptied the public pot making sure they're ok while Joe Public goes empty handed ! :angry: That said, do you still think he should have been shown leniency ? |

Re: tough on crime tough on the causes of crime
Unfortunately the system is skewed time & time again it happens, people turning the system over get caught, they say they're sorry, BULL ! They're sorry they got caught ! Then a spineless judiciary allows them to tamp out their sob story & shows leniency ! Jeez !
As to getting the money back (if at all) again more spinelessness ! Yes Mrs Bloggs of course you can pay back the 50,000 you scammed from the system while others who truly need the aid have suffered pure hardship (while you got your big telly, went to Jamaica, drove your 4X4 & generally lived it up while others struggled by in utter despair) at 1 quid a month ad infinitum & tell you what we'll continue giving you benefits, wouldn't want to see you out of pocket now would we ? That is the result of your welfare state total abuse from all quarters at all levels. That's the reason the Country needs a damned good rattling & thieves as that's what they are, should be exposed & hammered with the maximum penalties possible & don't give me the hardship to their families Bullcrap as they certainly didn't give a second thought for other families when they were coining it in ! |

I was making the point that imprisonment is an inappropriate punishment for many who end up there . It is costing the people of the country millions of pounds each year to keep many in prison for whom an alternative sentence would be better . e.g. tagging or hard work doing worthwhile community service . |

I agree that the punitive system needs to be toughened up , but that does not necessarily mean sending more to prison . Community service needs to be worthwhile hard work that will benefit the community . It needs to be enforced , and any dodging it should be dealt with accordingly . I believe that if there is a will there's a way . |

Chaytor's behaviour was that of a thief, he stole from the Public in that he fraudulently acquired monies he wasn't entitled to - Fraud act 2006, I'd assume section 4 (Maximum 5 years) he hasn't even been charged with half that & he'll probably only end up doing a year somewhere soft. Disgusting absolutely disgusting ! Fraud Act: Legal Guidance: The Crown Prosecution Service |

I believe it's covered under various acts, Criminal Justice & Immigration act 1991, UK Borders act 2007, Immigration act 1971, take your pick but there is so much legislation & counter legislation that it's a proper cess pit of nauseousness, which only that other bunch of Leeches (Lawyers) can understand & make heads or tails of. So as usual the UK's wonderful Government past & present have simply tucked their craven tails between their legs & run for the dank & festering recesses of their den of iniquity laughingly referred to as Parliament, to cower meuling, like the spineless, toothless curs they are, whipped into line by Europe & the ever more omnipresent ECHR ! You may notice a little animosity & aggression in my posting on this subject, it's intended ! This is one of those subjects that really infuriates me & I believe a good number of other Folk too. |

My dad worked as a training instructor for over 35 years at HMPs Garth and Wymott and frequently told us of how many inmates got themselves put away for a better standard of living. The 'human rights' malarkey has a lot to answer for but how do you get out of it without getting out of Europe?
I'm sure that there's good to be found in a European partnership but we don't pull enough of our own strings in my opinion and we don't help ourselves with the Maplins routine that is provided at Her Majesty's pleasure. |

At least I'm fairly sure..... I'm pleased to say that Miles Parkinson is far from dictatorial and openly welcomes differing views in order to get the best from the group, it makes him very approachable when submitting new ideas. Until I become commandant of Rishton stalag I don't think he has any need of worry on this one. |

Regarding prisons, I do know that the cost of incarcerating each prisoner is more than I earn in two years, possibly three, and that doesn't really make economic sense to me. The standard of living is also fairly high for something which many would hope to be both punishment and deterrent and the first problem I would address is the seemingly easy availability of drugs on the inside. Fortunately, I am not well-acquainted with the inside of Her Majesty's prisons but decrying the level of punishment on the basis of breaching human rights rather negates the whole idea of being punished! |

Good grief, it's beginning to sound like the council is run like some sort of dictatorship where one man exercises his will over those in his control. Such things do not happen in Hyndburn....:jump3: |
