Rand Hobart Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 They are talking about closing all women's prisons and having smaller facilities just for the worst offenders (murderers etc) suggesting that most women should be punished in the community. That will free up a fair old wedge towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's an extraordinarily dodgy idea. ---------- Post added 04-09-2013 at 22:43 ---------- Bring back the hulks. Yeah really great idea Jim, we all know there was no crime in those days don't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barleycorn Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 They could turns Barnsley into one massive walled prison, ala. Escape from New York. This super prison *might* be an improvement over our older prisons. Maybe there's one or two things that have been learned since Victorian times? (I shan't be holding my breath though.) Would anyone notice? jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frededwards Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 This government (or a future Labour one) will place the building and/or operation with whichever private contractor comes in with the lowest price at the point of tender, regardless of their ability to deliver. It will, therefore, be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
