the prison system!!

[graysblue]

are the jails too cushy?

with the prison population at record levels which is costing big money there must be an alternative.

my idea,

take one of the scottish islands where its in complete sticksville ie no public within 30 miles or any island in england with the same criteria.

at the centre of the island there would be a transmitter and every convict has a special bracelet attached on their leg,if any prisoner wanders say 2 miles from the transmitter the bracelet will beep and if the prisoners does not get back in range the bracelet explodes maiming or killing the convict.

drop food parcels by chopper and let the buggers fend for themselves,there would only be need for a few staff and this island could hold 500,000....................................job done and the taxpayer gets a tidy rebate.

when the prisoner has served his sentence the bracelet unlocks automatically and the convict can walk to freedom.

harsh or fair.

I think maiming people for straying too far might be looked on as harsh by some of our more liberal posters. However, a few thousand volts of electric shock my be a big enough deterrent.

steveo i like that idea

so if they stray they recieve an almighty shock,if they somehow manage to bypass the system could we still have the explosion?

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Even better......send them packing on a boat to a far away land that is hot and sunny with amazing scenery and fantastic beaches!!!!!

Whilst we all stay in a damp windy wet gloomy land

watched a prog ages ago where young tearaways were given the above in order to stop them from committing crime.

its a tad sickening.

Then after a number of years they could come back and beat us at sports like Cricket.

The system wouldn't be by passed. I would put Rusty in charge.

And charge us a fortune to visit their Prison island.

And if we want to get to be part of the chain gang, we have to score a suitable amount of points to be able to join them.

morning chap,

whats wrong with my island prison?

 

[Lord Football]

Morning Blue. How long you got?

It seems a bit like Devil's Island. Fortunately, we moved away from that kind of behaviour about the same time we stopped trading in slaves and slicing people's guts out in public.

And you ever seen Escape From New York?

Can I ask, have you ever been in prison? I really wouldn't fancy it, and certainly not for any length of time. I don't think vaporising criminals is really the way to go, although it is a fairly novel suggestion.

I am for rehabilitation wherever possible. Those that are unrehabitable should remain in high security prisons for as long as is required (which I believe is the case anyway).

As Aberdeen Shrimper said been done before. So we send them all to another Island and in years to come their decendants come back work in our pubs and beat us at most sports.

No I don't think so.

 

[graysblue]

according to the guardian online.com

in 1993 the prison population stood at 44,000,today its at 84,000.

the cost of any new prison space is put at £115,000 per prisoner whilst it costs £40,000 per year per prisoner.

the total cost is staggering with labour ideals to make prison time as comfy as possible.

prisoners easily smuggle booze birds and drugs.

is todays penal penalties actually a detterent?

So basically the plot of Battle Royale? Minus the 'last man standing within 72 hours' business of course.

I think the word is out and rather than seeking a better life in Spain or Australia people are realising there is a utopian existence right on our own doorstep.

I must admit I am thinking of jacking in my job, wife and kids for a nice seven to ten stretch in a category A prison.
