observer 624 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 In these days of austerity, with the "big society" being encouraged to work for nowt, it seems the search for cheap labour has now reached our prison population - good or bad idea? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Sid 851 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 "I DON'T BELIEVE IT". First they have a purge on the people claiming sickness benefit to get them back to work and off benefit. Then they up the retirement age so that people will have to work a few years longer. Both of these mean that there are now less jobs to go around and jobless figures go up. to counter this they encourage younger people to take up university places and so take them out of the unemployment figures. Due to lack of jobs they then throw money at employers to take on "apprentices" in an effort to get those figures down. shops closing down all over the place creating less jobs, Unemployment at it's highest and they want to give jobs to people in prison. well then all those potholes need filling in, ideal job for a start. plenty of fresh air and exercise.

Wireboy 5 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Great idea. Get them to pick up all the dog crap from the parks and then make them eat it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cleopatra 93 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Great idea. Get them to pick up all the dog crap from the parks and then make them eat it. But heat it up first for heaven's sake. You can't expect them to eat cold crap! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bazj 503 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Great idea. Get them to pick up all the dog crap from the parks and then make them eat it. I'd have the dog owners do that to be honest.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cleopatra 93 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ah well, if they have to work in prison it will just mean the bag-heads and shop lifters etc., will try harder not to get caught. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
observer 624 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Presumably, upskilling the criminal workforce will increase their productivity when they get out?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
