£35000 A Year For What.

Here we go again. It transpires that young offenders are likely to re-offend,wonder what genius mind thought that up..

Is it THAT hard to understand that by the time they have actually Been through the usual mill of being expelled for bullying, hanging around on street corners, fighting, doing drugs, stealing from shops and progressed on to mugging, burglary and joy riding and actually GET SENT TO PRISON, it is unlikely to be your first offence. You are so far down the road of re-offending that the only thing likely to stop you is to have both arms removed at their sockets,or there eyes poked out by a stick.


Instead, we now have a bunch of P/C Yogurt knitters telling us that sending criminals to prison encourages them to be criminals.

I’m bloody speechless, you go to prison in this country the UK as a last resort.And after years of social work and Abos have not had the slightest effect on you,and because society is sick to death of your behaviour, and would rather that you lived outside of it for a while.

The Lentil eaters are now suggesting that we don’t send them to prison but get them to do “unpaid” work in the community.


It transpires that sending a young criminal to prison for a year costs the government (IE US) £35,000 a year and it would be cheaper simply not to bother. This is so bleeding typical of this now government. I don’t care what it costs to send Dazza to be ars# raped for a year. I’m happy to pay for the little b@st@rd to become Mr Bigs wife for twelve months. Society is happy because the carnage that Conner and his mates inflict on us, ordinary well behaved law abiding and tax paying citizens is worse than paying for the bugger to be locked up.

If a criminal decides (and it is his decision) to re-offend, then obviously our prison regimes are too bleeding soft. I want the bugger sent somewhere where he PRAYS daily for his release and NEVER wants to return. He understands that if he chooses to re-offend, back he goes. Not to gyms, play-stations and spliffs, but to buggery, hunger and fear. Istanbul Thailand type of prison for example, or the Ukraine where they eat their cellmates.

Having watched the Movie SCUM during the seventies,I decided I was NEVER going to prison and reacted accordingly.

Agree with you here mate. Dutch prisons are like hotels (bar the trips to the beach). 3 meals a day, choice of menu, TV in cell if well behaved and door open during day hours in light regimes. Old age pensioners with little or no means have to eat pancakes or bread all week to have a full stomach.

Saw a documentary about a Dutch guy in a Thai prison. Caught with, you guessed it, pockets full of illicit drugs. Was standing (!) in a large cell with 50 others, had to fight daily for his grub or had to bribe guards and had to fight each night to prevent becoming someone’s punk. Lost 30 kg during his stay. Said through the prison bars that he was in hell. Had 20 more years to go. Will he do it again?

Now Frans thats what prison should be about not a bloody home from home. Its punishment for Christ's sake,make it so hard that they pray for the day of release,and perhaps then they would not re-offend.
