Excellent news which we should all celebrate.

To get a prison sentence these days takes a huge amount of effort to committ a number of crimes.

In committing the crimes you must give up your free time and be dedicated to making the lives of law abiding, tax paying, contributing citizens an absolute misery.

You must drive other peoples cars, enter other peoples houses, sell other people drugs or even batter other peoples bodies or damage their property.

When our “justice” system finally gives you your just rewards it is therefore only right that you should have nice showers, access to telephones and be treated respectfully and decently by the staff who are there to ensure you are warm, fed, and watered. As for being strip searched to prevent you taking drugs or weapons into your new hotel, or being held in “grubby” or “uncomfortable” holding cells – well – surely this be a breach of your human rights and you must be owed thousands in compensation.

Whoops – I must have been dreaming – surely this is a truly bad joke – these little dears who are allowed to destroy the lives of the decent folks should be locked up, whipped daily, fed bread and water and made to work for that.

I for one could not care less about the scum in our prisons – they deserve to suffer to make up for the suffering they have caused !!

Would you vote for me if I stood for parliament on a beat the criminal ticket??

I hear the expenses are quite good too!!

Dear Capt Cynical – have you ever been inside a prison for any length of time? Been with that many people for that length of time? The myth that all people who are imprisoned are all wasters just isn’t the case and they certainly don’t get to sit around and play on x-boxes. Please show a little compassion.

Dear Unbelievable – Have you ever been attacked, or been made the victim of one of these poor little dears? Do you think they show compassion when they’re doing these things? If they do the crime they have to do the time – so if they’re not wasters then what are they? Productive members of society? Hardly! Oh, and I don’t sit around playing on an x box all the time either – I’m too busy going out and working for a living, and having a nice time without hurting anyone or stealing/damaging other people’s property. It can be done, and maybe a spell in the cells will help them see this – but with all the nannying they get, I doubt that very much.

How does NO sound?

3 staff in hospital – others injured in trying to break up a fight at the much improved Stoke Heath.

Clearly the better facilities have not improved the inmates behaviour – let us hope the inspectors and report writers now hang their heads in shame having annoyed the tax payers and proved that for all the improvements in treatment and facilities stock heath is actually a prison full of criminals.

Stop the mamby pamby approach and we might actually sole the real problem – if you offend you suffer – therefore you learn and do not offend again – or if you do you get locked up permanently.

Zero tolerance and 3 strikes and your out does work – but you have to have guts to apply it – and that is what is sadly lacking these days!!
