Hahaha :biggrin:

 

One of my first policies would be to push for volutary uthensia for lifers in prison.

 

To offer them a way out and save us tax payers millions.

 

A painless and carefree death instead of life in prison to be self administered to suit them and it would only cost a few pence a go

 

I reckon with a decent uptake we could pay off the national debt and get out of the recession in no time

 

You won't get much take-up on that idea, I'm afraid. Prison is too cushy a number. TV, DVDs, Video games, 3 square meals a day, free healthcare & dentistry, the opportunity to exercise & study for free, no having to go to a job you hate every day, no bills to worry about etc. etc. its enough to make a law abiding citizen question who's got the right idea. :dontknow:

You make it sound like Butlins

 

How about not being able to go and go as you please, having to wear prison uniform, having to eat whatever the put in front of you, separation from your friends and family, not wanting to bend over for the soap and when you do get out there is that probation mullarkey and you are an ex convict with not much in the way of prospects.

Not too different from working in a factory really! :biggrin:

Depends what you go away for really. I know a few football hooligans, drug dealers etc. and prison is no more than a temporary curtailment of freedom for them and it holds no fear being as they already have a network of mates inside who will look out for them and introduce them to new mates and contacts. Prison is better for networking than facebook for the career criminal. I have this from the horses mouth.

 

What I am saying is to the criminal minded person, prison does not really act as an effective deterrent, more an occupational hazard.

It is only us, the law abiding folk who fear prison. And rightly so as we'd likely be eaten alive in there.

I know a lad from Glasgow who wouldn't pay fines and stuff to get few week sentences said it was a break from his lass and reckoned he liked the 3square meals a day and the banter:001_rolleyes:

"Harsher punishment for parole violators Jim"

 

I would have them all on hard labour if it were me, but I thought the description sounded like the Butlin’s of my youth
