Stan Tamudo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 id like to see chain gangs cleaning the graffiti off buildings (obviously while all chained together) , criminals have the offence they have commited tattoo`d on their foreheads before being released ,so the public know what they have done ,and to serve as a warning to the public as to what they might do again. Here we go again. how about making criminals clean the graffiti of the walls -a mobern day chain gang supervised by ex military officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Problem is that some prefer life on the inside. Games consoles, tv, meals prepared for them and they don't have to hand over cash for any of it. If they have nothing on the outside they see prison as home and will reoffend purposely to get back in. LMAO! You missed the bit about the solid gold fittings in the en-suite bathrooms and the waiter service in the 5* restaurants. How many prisons have you visited/worked in/been in kittenta? When TVs were introduced, inmates had to pay 50p per week rent for them. That money came out of their 'spend' (which buys everything they may want other than the basics (food, tea, coffee powder.) Average earnings were about 75p per day (£3.75 pw - tax free!) When TVs were introduced, it was argued that because the inmates could now watch TV, it was reasonable to lock them down an hour earlier. An inmate who misbehaved would lose his TV (but would still be locked in his cell at the same time.) Meals prepared for them. Indeed. Hopefully , one or two of them can cook - because there aren't many professional chefs. Games Consoles. Some of the wings may have games consoles (but the inmates can't use them when they're in their cells and if they want their own, they can save up. it will take a while at £3.25 a week. There are, however, one or two for whom life inside is better than life 'on the out'. That says less for the quality of life in prison than it does for the way they were existing outside. There are also a few habitual criminals - people who look on prison terms as an occupational hazard - but for most people prison is not a pleasant place.

Rupert_Baehr Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Aside from the death penalty I would think the next level would be removing your freedom would be a punishment surely. So yes prison is a punishment. In most cases pointless IMO as the re offending rate is quite high because rehabilitation within the system generally doesn't work. Unfortunately, rehabilitation within the system is generally non-existent. Prison governors work within a budget. Security and safety will obviously take priority over everything else. Everything else must be funded by that budget and in the event that the government should decide to decrease the budget for a prison, where do you think the governor will make the cuts? Education and rehabilitation are the first targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex3659 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Im of the view that once in prison , Lags should be punished harshly. id like to see chain gangs cleaning the graffiti off buildings (obviously while all chained together) , criminals have the offence they have commited tattoo`d on their foreheads before being released ,so the public know what they have done ,and to serve as a warning to the public as to what they might do again. id also like to see prisoners locked in a cell 23 hours a day without TV`S ,radio`s ETC. Just a basic cell with a toilet. You do suprise me Derek, :o:o:o. You would let them have a toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura16 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Prison is the punishment and its being removed from the rest of society and losing their freedom due to prison thats why there are arguments about prisoners saying they should be allowed to vote because denying that right is civic death and that is not the punishment that they have been given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm struggling with understanding this. You could have the common courtesy to pretend that it makes sense, thus avoiding her getting embarassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura16 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 sorry maybe i didnt explain it right prison being the punishment is the loss of freedom the view of for the punishment is such as civic death (losing the right to vote) Because prisoners do loose that right even though prison is said to be for the punishment that is where the debate starts.
