wolfie Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Seems that 5 new prisons that were going to be built have now been shelved. On top of that 3 existing ones are to be shutdown. So what do we do with the criminals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 They'll become the new entrepreneurs, as the prices of everything goes up, and folk have less money to spend, the black market should be booming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 It could only happen in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianR Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 we apparenlty have 5000 capacity in the existing system. No problem there then closing a few of the really old and useless prisons(one was a medievial castle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 With the ever increasing population and an expected rise in prisoners year on year on - where does that leave us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Maybe if we brought back capital punishment and got rid of the murderers and kiddy fiddlers that would not only free up some space; but save a fortune too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Maybe not why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 If one person dies who is later found to be innocent, what recourse to the law will that family have, I could also mention the Birmingham 6 who all would have died if that option was open.

Bazj Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 The Birmigham 6.... may not have been hung - you cannot say that for certain, however if they had that may have been a tragedy. Forensics are so advanced these days that the chances of that happening are extremely remote, but even if it did happen it would hardly be a regular occurance. I mean you could even take it to be only those where the evidence is absolute...... Yorkshire Ripper, James Bulgers Killers, The foreign kid who killed that headmaster only to be let out 14 years later, not deported and who has now been arrested again for robbery.... the list is endless Kije. These people do not deserve the right to breathe the same air that they denied their victims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Justice must contain an element of revenge, but it should not be all about revenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 It isn't just about revenge Kije..... imagine the lives you would save if you didn't let convicted killers out to do it again? Apparently there have been 30 murders committed in the last 10 years by people who were set free after serving a "life" sentence for their first murder..... that is 30 innocent lives as opposed to the lives of scum. I really don't see the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 On that you have a point, A life sentence should be no less than 25 years. I do agree sentencing should be alot tougher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
