Our jails are over crowded. What do we do about that? Oh i know. We wont build more, we’ll let some prisoners out early. That’ll fix that problem.

I'm not being funny here Bill, but removing people from an overcrowded building will make it less crowded. And i'm no Physicist (although i'd sort of understand if you thought that i was)

Let the non dangerous ones out and keep the dangerous ones in. More room for even more dangerous ones then. Bliss

You’re not removing guests from an over crowded hotel though Twerty. You are just setting prisoners free before they finish their sentence. Great idea !!.

Great idea. Let’s just let every small time criminal do what they want, and just write them a strongly worded letter. No need to jail any of them then. You’d make an ideal modern day politician.

Get them cleaning up the place with litter picking etc. Make them productive rather than languishing in a dungeon at taxpayers expense. I'd keep the naughtys out and the nastys in .....result!

What if you are naughty and nasty ? 😃

Fair point! Nasty overrides naughty.....Go directly to jail without passing go and without collecting £200 👮

Then they can campaign for Reform. Everyone is a winner.

In the past 20/25 years the number of people being sent to prison in the UK and the length of their sentences, have increased massively. For both measures up by more than 50%. In some cases much more.

That has mostly been down to an angry and frustrated public and weak politicians who have no other solutions than to fill up the gaols (except for privatising them to foreign corporations who lobby for longer sentences!)

For some people prison is the only answer. But there are alternative approaches (maybe even ‘tough on the causes of crime’ for those into nostalgia) to increasing public safety and reducing criminal acts.

The examples of the USA and other countries are not ones we should follow. They have imprisoned more and more (especially the poor, blacks and latinos) for less and less and monetised the system to the benefit of the already rich.

Prisons remain colleges if crime with little attempt at rehabilitation or prevention of future offences. The buildings are often rotting, are understaffed, are filled with drone-delivered drugs and fail on most measures.

Sure, ‘lock em up and throw away the keys’ gives a temporary warm glow to the angry public. I have felt that at times too (I did after my 11th burglary) but it is no real answer. It is a failure.

The Labour government decision to release some people early was not part of a strategic rethink. It was a necessary and pragmatic way of averting a crisis. But it has become clearer over the past two years that no party is offering an alternative to failure. At best there are a few piecemeal ideas that may make things marginally better.

And there is a two tier policing and justice system - just not the inverted version that Farage is bleating about.

And yet the stats say crime rates are going down.

I must admit Tuerty, i am taking to your new attitude and style of posting on here. Not taking anything too seriously and adding a bit of dark humour. It’s a winner imo.
Keep it up.lad. Lots of others on here would benefit from the same approach, 👍

Sludge. You’ve had your say on this topic. Others may agree with you, others may have a different opinion or angle on it. You really do tend to infest threads in the worse possible way.
For once, why not step back, and give it a break.

There is no angle you reform tool
